Promoting equality of opportunity and good relations is of primary importance to the Trust, to ensure our services are welcoming, person-centred and accessible for everyone.
The Equality Scheme is a statement of the Trust’s commitment to meeting its statutory duties under Section 75 of the NI Act 1998, outlining how the Trust will fulfil its equality duties. The Scheme is approved by the Equality Commission and details what we intend to do to improve fair and equal access to services and employment.
The Trust must promote equality of opportunity taking into account the nine equality categories between:
- persons of different religions belief, political opinion, racial group, age, marital status or sexual orientation
- men and women generally
- persons with a disability and persons without
- persons with dependents and persons without
