Our Equality Commitment

Both Oldham and Rochdale are diverse boroughs. They are home to people from a wide range of different racial and cultural backgrounds, people with different religious beliefs, sexual orientations, people with disabilities, children and older people, women and men.

We believe that this diversity is a strength to be valued and we recognise that achieving our aims and objectives will have a considerable impact on the lives of people from these diverse communities. These impacts, and also opportunities created, may not be felt equally. 

For these reasons we believe it is important to take account of the potential impacts of physical regeneration on different sections of society in line with equalities legislation and guidance. To do this we commit to consider equalities issues in every aspect of our work – from individual projects and action plans to evaluation mechanisms and monitoring systems.

We will promote:

·        Equality of opportunity

·        Good community relations

·        Positive attitudes

·        Mutual understanding and

·        Common values.

      We will contribute to the elimination of:

·        Harassment and

·        Unlawful discrimination.

      We will treat all individuals:

·        Fairly

·        With dignity and

·        With respect.
