Denbighshire County Council is committed to equality in both employment and service provision. The Council recognises the diverse nature of the county and endeavours to ensure that employees,  clients and customers are treated with dignity and respect. The Council opposes all forms of discrimination and undertakes not to discriminate unfairly on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race or ethnic origin, religion or belief, sexual orientation, health, marital status, responsibility for dependents, social or economic status or criminal record.
 
Every possible step will be taken to take into account the diverse nature of individuals and ensure that they are treated fairly and decisions on service provision and employment are based on objective criteria. In order to deliver on our commitments we aim to make equality a central part of the way the Council works by putting it at the centre of policy making, service delivery, regulation, and employment practice.

In our Vision we say: “We will celebrate and respect the diversity of our county”

Denbighshire County Council has revised its Corporate Equalities Plan for 2009 – 2012.
 
Our Corporate Equalities Plan outlines the challenges ahead in providing continuous improvement, promoting inclusion and equal opportunities in our services and for our employees.  It sets out the key objectives we are focussing on for the next three years, how we will deliver them and how we will measure our success. 

From the feedback we have received we believe that our priorities reflect the most persistent inequalities our community currently faces.  Our Action Plan identifies the practical steps we need to take to improve our performance on equal opportunities.
