We aim to provide excellent and accessible services to meet the needs of every resident, and to be an equal opportunities employer.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is an important part of the Council’s business of improving the quality of life and life chances for everyone.
There are several existing EDI documents which set out what we want to achieve for people who live, work, study in or visit Solihull and our plans to do this. Some of these documents will become part of a new Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy.
Our EDI documents
This is an overview of current EDI documents and how they will change when the new EDI strategy is finalised.
The EDI statement of intent sets out our commitments. The new EDI strategy will incorporate and build on these initial commitments.
The Equal Opportunities Policy Statement explains the Council’s commitment to equality and our legal responsibility, how we will make our services more accessible to all, the actions we will take and how we will monitor and review the statement to ensure we do what we say.
The Equality objectives 2020-2024 will be replaced by the objectives in the EDI roadmap which will become part of the new EDI strategy.
The EDI Roadmap is an overview of the equality, diversity and inclusion outcomes we want to achieve for the borough and the short, medium and long term goals involved. The Roadmap will also become part of the new EDI strategy.
