Equality & Diversity
Proud to be recognised
We expect everyone who works at Essex County Council to be treated and to treat everyone else with dignity and respect.
We are proud to have been recognised as ‘Excellent’ by the Local Government Association (LGA).
Our aim is to maintain and exceed the requirements of the public sector duty (Equality Act 2010). We are a Disability Confident leader in our community, and Essex County County has an active Faith Covenant agreement, working jointly with faith leaders and partners to support our communities.
Our approach
We celebrate difference and work to ensure that no one is disadvantaged when accessing services, employment or public life in Essex. The Equality Act 2010 sets out our duty in this area.
We provide information about how we comply with our equality duties each year and we review our equality objectives at least once every 4 years.
