We aim to provide accessible services, delivered in a way that respects the needs of each individual and does not exclude anyone. The practice intends to embed its equality and diversity values into everyday practice, policies and procedures so that equality and diversity becomes the norm for all.

Our policies and procedures are in line with the Equalities Act 2010 and the Equality Duty which provides legal protection for employees and families from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. The Equality Act 2010 sets out nine protected characteristics and these are central to our policy. The characteristics are age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.
