The London Borough of Redbridge (Redbridge Council) aims to deliver services that meet the diverse needs of all of our residents and encourage equality across the Borough. 

As a Council, we are required to meet certain duties under the Equality Act 2010. We are therefore in the process of developing a new Equality and Diversity Strategy and Action Plan to fulfill those duties and thereby enhance our practice in service delivery and employment matters.

We have made a positive commitment to equality and diversity by continuously working to ensure that our services meet the needs of all of the Redbridge community. 

We seek to fulfil the duties and responsibilities that we have under the Equalities legislation as well as strive to become 'Excellent' under the Equalities Framework for Local Government.

We believe that by mainstreaming equalities into all that we do we will enhance the quality of our services and help to deliver value for money. 

We will work actively to reduce inequality with all our customers and employees byensuring that they are treated:

  • equitably 
  • without discrimination
  • with dignity and respect,

regardless of their:

  • age
  • disability
  • gender reassignment
  • pregnancy and maternity
  • race
  • religion or belief
  • sex and sexual orientation.

We as a Council have a legal duty to:

  • Eliminate discrimination
  • Promote equality of opportunity
  • Promote good relations

We expect our employees and partners to respect and comply with UK Government Legislation and Policies.

We expect organisations supplying goods or services on behalf of Redbridge Council to comply with these duties.
