Encouraging a fair and inclusive community

Do you have any views on equal opportunities in Hertsmere?  Have you experienced discrimination because of your race, religion, sexuality, age or disability?  Or perhaps you think we can improve access to our services?

We want to ensure that we treat people from different groups fairly and equally and have devised a short survey to capture people’s views.  We invite anyone and everyone to take part – all responses are anonymous. 

Councillor John Donne, lead member on matters relating to equality and diversity, said: "We are committed to tackling inequality and preventing discrimination here in Hertsmere. 

"We also have certain legal requirements to foster good relations between communities so please let us know if you are aware of any issues or if you feel excluded from society or our services."

The questionnaire asks various questions about equality issues as well as thoughts on how the council could make it easier for different groups to use certain services and whether you’re aware of any discrimination in Hertsmere.  Responses will help us understand more about our residents and how satisfied different groups are so we can improve our services and ensure they are available to all our communities.
