Promoting Equality and Diversity

The agency promotes a culture of regard for the needs of the people who use our service, wants and interests which takes into account their personal preferences and to the way in which they wish to conduct their lives. All of our work is underpinned by equality, diversity and human rights legislation and our striving for justice and fair play. In order to maintain our compliance with equality and diversity legislation we will utilise our knowledge and experience of the legal and national policy on equality, diversity and human rights.

 

We recognise that individuals are not defined by a single equality strand; often straddling many different strands such as individuals who experience combined discrimination as a result of age, sexual orientation, gender or disability.

​

We understand that every service user has their own independent choice and possible variation of culture and religion. Therefore, care packages will be personalized to meet the needs of the service users, which will include needs around gender specific carer, communication and information needs, dietary, religious and spiritual needs, dress code etc. This will result in personal care and support being provided in a way, which maintains and respects the privacy, dignity and lifestyle of the people who use our service.
