Our vision for equality, diversity and inclusion
Promoting fairness and tackling inequality are at the heart of our values as a council.
We want to understand our citizens, celebrate our diversity, and address the barriers to achieving inclusion and the freedom to be ourselves. We must leave no-one behind on this journey to an inclusive Kirklees.
We want to provide high quality and accessible services that meet the needs of our diverse communities. The quality of council services depends on our workforce; we are committed to supporting our workforce to develop, and to deliver and commission quality services. In Kirklees we recognise the importance of this by promoting and embracing equality, fairness and inclusion.
Priority action areas
Our 2021/23 strategy: Recovery through Inclusion has four priority areas to assist the council and its communities to continue to address inequalities and help facilitate pandemic recovery.
Our values
Just like individuals, our organisation's values guide the way we think and act. In our response to the pandemic we have seen our values in action, under incredible pressure and in a rapidly changing environment. Read more about our values.
