07 October 2008Sevenoaks District Council recognises that everyone is different. It welcomes this diversity and wants to help every individual meet their full potential.
The Council aims to treat the people it serves or employs fairly, consistently and with respect. It also expects its Councillors, employees and services users to treat each other in the same way.
The Council will make every effort to ensure that no-one who is entitled to a service from the Council receives less favourable treatment on grounds of any irrelevant consideration, including, age, disability, gender, marital status, nationality, race, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. The same applies to Council employees and job applicants.
The Council will resist and challenge discrimination by anyone, and will take appropriate action if it occurs. All complaints about discrimination will be taken seriously, and complainants will not be victimised.
