Equalities

What we're doing in Westminster

 Westminster is a diverse city and its residents come from all over the world.  

At Westminster City Council we want to make sure that we are doing what we can to support the city’s diversity and to ensure that all residents have the same opportunities and access to services.

During 2009, the Council is working on the development of a Single Equality Scheme that will outline the Council's equalities objectives and the steps we are taking to achieve them. It will also outline the Council’s commitment to the equality duty on gender, disability and race, and the other equality strands of age, sexual orientation, faith or belief and our wider commitment to improving life chances. We plan to consult on the equalities objectives in the autumn of 2009 and on the entire scheme in winter 2010, with the aim of having the Single Equality Scheme in place by April 2010.
