Disability Equality Scheme 2006 - 2009
Welcome to the council’s first Disability Equality Scheme. This scheme enables us to demonstrate the work undertaken to provide services appropriate to the needs of the people of Salford as well as identifying our plans for improvement.
Salford is a diverse city. To deliver its mission “to create the best possible quality of life for the people of Salford” the council has developed 7 Pledges including;
Pledge 5: Promoting Inclusion in Salford – we will tackle poverty and social inequalities and increase involvement of local communities in shaping the future of the city.
It is therefore our aim to ensure that:
- Disabled people are able to access all services on an equal basis with people who are not disabled.
- Disabled people have the same access to employment and vocational opportunities and training.
- Disabled people find that council staff are knowledgeable of the issues facing them and that staff communicate with them in an appropriate way.
- Inequalities are minimised.
This scheme will play a key role in achieving these aims.
Councillor Hinds is the Lead Member for equality and diversity issues throughout the council. Councillor Hinds also chairs the Equal Opportunities Forum, comprising councillors and representatives from external organisations. Its remit is to consider equality and diversity issues on behalf of the council. It meets bi-monthly.
