Coventry City Council believes in the importance of the principles of diversity and inclusion underpinning everything we do. We view diversity as a strength to be harnessed and aim to create an inclusive culture that respects and values difference. We aim to promote equality of opportunity, to enable all current and future employees to develop themselves and maximise their true and full potential.
We recognise that individuals still experience bias, discrimination, and inequality in our society and therefore as an employer, we will take a proactive approach to identifying and addressing this in the workplace and when promoting and recruiting for our employment opportunities.
