Have your say…influence service development…make a real difference!
Harrow is a diverse borough and our residents and service users come from different backgrounds and have varying needs. Understanding our communities, their particular needs and requirements and translating them into service delivery is central for local government, its staff and elected members. In order to ensure we understand these needs and develop services which are fair and accessible, Harrow Council would like to encourage residents and service users to help develop our Single Equalities Scheme (SES).
Our SES will be an important document for the council which will identify key objectives and inform a three year action plan to promote equality and diversity, eliminate discrimination and to ensure our services are fair, equal and accessible. This means for the people who use our services and the people who deliver those services – for everyone in Harrow.
We would therefore like to encourage our residents, service users, partners and stakeholders to help influence and develop our SES and are holding a consultation event for you to have your say. Details of the events are as follows:
