Somerset County Council is fully committed to diversity and equality for all, both in employment and service delivery. The public sector has a statutory duty to promote good race relations and is generally viewed as a 'best practice' employer.
The Council strongly values diversity and does not condone or tolerate discrimination (direct or indirect) against anyone because of, for example, their race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, religion, gender or sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, caring or domestic responsibilities, political or trade union activity. We will also try to eliminate the risk of unintentional discrimination in the way we provide information and services.
