Equality and diversity

Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy

Our Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy explains the Council's vision and commitment to equality.

This strategy was published in October 2024 and describes how we wish to ensure equality:

  • as a provider of services to residents
  • as an employer
  • in our role as a leader in the community

We recognise that South Tyneside is a diverse place and this strategy seeks to promote this by valuing the uniqueness of each person. 

Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy (2024 to 2027)

The Council welcomes your feedback (comments, compliments and complaints) on how well we are implementing this strategy in the services we deliver to the public.
