At Shropshire Council, we embrace equality and diversity in all our work. The issue of equality is not the responsibility of one section or service area solely, but is owned by all members and staff at all levels of the council. We recognise the value difference can make and we are committed to serving the diverse needs of our communities.
The Strategic Equalities Group - (SEG) is chaired by Mike Hyatt, assistant chief executive, performance and partnerships, to demonstrate corporate commitment and to help ensure equalities is being embedded throughout the organisation. The group is made up of the senior lead officers from each of the service areas and also with representation from the staff groups, trade unions and the Shropshire Partnership.
Each of the directorates has an equality group that reports to the Strategic Equality Group. They work with the diversity officer to ensure that equalities and diversity is embedded into their service area. These groups are made up of officers from the different service teams within the directorate working with the senior lead officer.
For further information about the strategic and directorate equality groups please contact the diversity officer on 01743 252056 or by email: kal.parkash@shropshire.gov.uk
