- We accept that we have biases and work hard to free ourselves of these
- We know that diversity of experience and perspective makes our organisation richer and our decisions better.

This requires us to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation

- Foster good relations between different groups
As a public organisation, we are required to:
- Have due regard to the PSED when making decisions, taking-action or developing policy and practice.
- Publish information to show compliance with the Equality Duty. This is done via our Equalities Policy.
- Publish Equality Objectives which are specific and measurable.
