Equality and Diversity Policy

We believe that everyone in Newham should be treated fairly, without discrimination and prejudice, and have equal access to our services, employment and training opportunities and citizen participation.

We believe that these should be delivered regardless of a person's race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, language, HIV status, religion, national or social origin or class.
