Equality and Diversity

Oadby & Wigston Borough Council is committed to an inclusive culture for all of our employees and will not discriminate on the grounds of gender, gender identity, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief, age, those with caring responsibilities, part-time workers, care leavers or any other factor that is irrelevant to a person’s work.

We encourage a diverse workforce and aim to create an environment where all employees are valued and respected and where discrimination, bullying, victimisation and harassment are not tolerated.

Decisions on recruitment, selection, appraisal and career progression are based on ability and our policies ensure that no one is unfairly discriminated against whilst they are in our employment.

As a local authority, we are required to promote equality of opportunity and eliminate unlawful discrimination. We expect all of our employees to promote good relations between different groups and work towards achieving equality of opportunity for all.
