| The North West is an incredibly diverse region. It is home to people from a wide range of different racial and cultural backgrounds. People with different religious beliefs and sexual orientations, disabled people, children, older people, women and men. We embrace and celebrate this diversity every day and realise that it is a strength to be valued and promoted. |
All of the NOWpeople Councils are 100% committed to Equal Opportunities. And these aren't empty words.
We all employ specialists in the field of diversity and equal opportunities and have published a Race Equality scheme. We've also all made a strong commitment to the Positive About Disabled scheme and work to policies that comply with the Anti-discrimination legislation.
When we recruit or promote from within, only one-thing matters - selecting the best person for that position. Measures and guidelines have been put into place to ensure that everyone is treated equally and receives the ongoing support they need to ensure that they reach their full potential.
We actively celebrate and embrace diversity and are proud that our combined workforce represents people of every faith, race, gender, age, sexual orientation and disability. Because we realise that to provide the best possible services to the people we serve, we must have a workforce that fully understands, reflects and embraces our diverse and truly multi-cultural region. |
