Equality and diversity

Hampshire Police Authority’s vision for equality and diversity

Hampshire Police Authority’s vision is that every person and every employee who receives or is affected by the Authority’s activities and services should perceive their experience to be fair and equitable.

The Authority expects all people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, whether a resident, visitor or someone who works in the two counties, to be treated with respect; free from harassment, bullying, victimisation or discrimination. The Authority wishes to be open and transparent in the way in which the Authority functions and the ways in which its policies, roles and responsibilities are delivered.

In short, the promotion of equality and diversity shall be at the heart of the Authority’s work.

To assist the Authority in its duty the Authority has published a combined equalities scheme which brings together the Race, Gender and Disability Equality Schemes - please view it using the below link.. The Authority also has a duty to monitor Hampshire Constabulary’s scheme, which it does through its committee meetings. To view the Constabulary’s schemes please visit its website.

The Authority staff are subject to the equality schemes of Hampshire County Council. To see the County Council's schemes please visit its website.
