Welcome to the equality and diversity section of the Middlesbrough Council web site. 

Middlesbrough Council aims to tackle discrimination and disadvantage vigorously.  We want to bring about measurable improvements for those who are discriminated against.  Our task is to promote equality for all regardless of

• Gender
• Race
• Disability
• Religion or belief
• Sexual orientation
• Age

More broadly, the Council believes that all Middlesbrough citizens, employees and partners should have equal access to services and opportunities in every aspect of their lives.

Equal access

The Council values the diversity of the local population and seeks to reduce inequality by making its services, facilities and resources more responsive to community and individual needs. Middlesbrough Council is fully committed to equality of opportunity for all people, across the full range of its activities both as a service provider and an employer. 

To ensure that everyone has equal access to services, we are determined to do as much as possible to remove communication barriers and make Council premises easily accessible for all service users.

The documents and information contained in this section show how we are working to achieve equality and diversity both in employment and the delivery of services within Middlesbrough Council.
