Trust Equality Scheme S75 Action-based Plan

Abstract

The Trust's Action Based Plan (Plan) to promote equality of opportunity and good relations is based on the 'functions' of the Trust and will be implemented through the Framework of the Trust's Equality Scheme. The measures contained within this Plan are linked to the Trust's Corporate Planning Cycle in order to ensure that equality of opportunity and good relations are incorporated and mainstreamed at a strategic level into the business of the Trust and aim to address inequalities in health and social care for all of the S75 categories - men, women, persons with and without a disability, persons with or without dependants, persons of different religious belief, political opinion, racial group, age, marital status or sexual orientation. This second plan is for a three year period 2014 to 2017. This Plan is in addition to the commitments set out in the Trust's Equality Scheme and the Trust's dual responsibilities to promote equality of opportunity and good relations which are interdependent and complementary to one another.
