Equality and Diversity Improvement Plan 2007–2010
The Equality and Diversity Performance Improvement Plan 2007–2010 sets out our priorities and objectives relating to equality and diversity for the next three years. The plan reflects national and local drivers, including legislation and guidance from the Department of Health.
Adult Social Care recognises the importance of meeting the needs of under-served communities through effective needs assessment, service delivery, commissioning strategies and procurement. In parallel to this, developing the labour force with health partners is also a priority, to ensure that staff are fully equipped with the skills they need to support delivery of equitable services.
The action plan details how we will deliver against the objectives listed above. The action plan is structured around the seven outcomes from the ‘Our Health, Our Care, Our Say’ White Paper, plus the two Commission for Social Care Inspectorate (CSCI) outcomes relating to commissioning and use of resources, and leadership.
