This Gender Equality Scheme is a joint venture between Cannock Chase District Council, East Staffordshire Borough Council, Lichfield District Council, South Staffordshire District Council, Stafford Borough Council, Staffordshire County Council, and Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service.
Equality between men and women has advanced significantly since the Sex Discrimination Act of 1975. In order to build upon that progress, the Equality Act 2006 places a statutory duty to promote gender equality. Although much has been achieved, there is still a long way to go to achieve full equality for all.
We welcome the Act and are fully committed to eliminating unlawful discrimination and harassment and promoting equality of opportunity between men, women, boys', girls' and Trans people.
Working with our partners, we will strive to ensure that our priorities reflect the differing needs of the male, female and trans members of our communities, where they exist.
This Scheme sets out what we will do to tackle gender inequality issues. It is important that employees and residents across Staffordshire are involved in the development and delivery of the Scheme, as this will ensure that the duty leads to real outcomes and practical improvements.
