Equal Opps

The Council believes that its workforce should reflect the Croydon community and that all groups within the community should have equal access to the Council’s employment opportunities.

The Council is committed to taking action to eliminate discrimination and, by redressing imbalances, to achieve genuine equality of opportunity. The Council has so far identified that women, disabled people and people from minority ethnic groups are under-represented in certain areas of the workforce. By monitoring our recruitment and the makeup of our workforce, we will ensure that our equal opportunity initiatives are having effect.

Recruitment, selection and promotion procedures are monitored to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and treated on the basis of their relevant merits and abilities.

There is a Council procedure for dealing with complaints about the selection process. For further information, please contact the Head of Personnel Services.

The Council welcomes people with disabilities. The following question is being asked to assist the Council in implementing the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995.
