Equal opportunities and diversity

To ensure that all the work we carry out meets everyone's needs and improves their quality of life the Council, working with our partners, makes sure that all the services we provide are fair. 

The South Lanarkshire working for you - mainstreaming equalities report sets out our legal equality duties and how we will work with others to make sure that the needs of everyone are met when using a service. 

We aim to:

• develop best practice as a major employer
• eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation in all its forms
• advance equality of opportunity for all
• foster good relations across our community

Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect so if you have any comments or concerns please use our Comments, compliments and complaints procedure. 

The Council carries out equalities impact assessments on all new policies and procedures which can be viewed on the impact assessments directory.

For more information see our Mainstreaming equalities report 2021-2025 or the Equality and Human Rights Commission website.
