Equality Objectives survey
Equality Objectives survey
We are developing key themes, known as our Equality Objectives,
which we really hope will make a difference to our diverse
communities across Sussex and we need your help.
The Equality Act 2010 identifies nine categories which are known
as protected characteristics. These are:
• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Pregnancy & maternity
• Race
• Religion and belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation
• Marriage & civil partnership
People who belong to groups defined by any of these
characteristics must have their needs taken into account by us and
it is our duty to:
• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment
and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the act
• Advance equality of opportunity between people
who share a protected characteristic and those who do not
• Foster good relations between people who share
a protected characteristic and those who do not
To make sure that you, and all those in your communities, have
your needs and voices represented, please take a few minutes to
fill in our short survey and let us know what you
think.
