Manchester has been at the forefront of championing equality and diversity for decades and here at the Council, inclusion is in our DNA.
Our people, all our people, are at the centre of what we do and who we are. We know that having a workforce which reflects Manchester's diversity brings us a wider range of experiences and views. In turn this creates more ideas and innovations.
We’re committed to providing a working environment that is respectful of everybody’s identity. Where individual differences are strengths, and where everyone can thrive and fulfil their potential.
We’re really proud that we’ve received national recognition at the Excellent level of the Equality Framework for Local Government. We're are also accredited against the Disability Confident Employer scheme. Our equality objectives underpin our work on equality, diversity and inclusion:
- Knowing Manchester Better
- Improving Life Chances
- Celebrating Our Diversity
There are plenty of ways for employees to get involved:
- check out our equality employee network groups;
- volunteer to support some of the best diversity celebrations around (like Manchester Pride, International Women's Day and International Day of Disabled People);
- find out what's going on in your Directorate through it's equality forum.
