Equality - Disability Equality Scheme

The Council has a legal duty to have a Disability Equality Scheme confirming its commitment to disability equality. The Council must monitor and report annually on the progress it has made in delivering the Scheme and review revise and update it Scheme every three years.

Our first Disability Equality Scheme covered the period 2007 – 09.  A review of that scheme and a summary of what was achieved during its lifetime were considered by Stirling Council on 12th December 2009.

Disability Equality Scheme 2010 - 12

Our Disability Equality Scheme for 2010 - 12 was agreed by Stirling Council on 10th December 2009. Building on what we have achieved to date, this shows how we will continue to promote disability equality and challenge discrimination when recruiting and employing people, delivering services directly to our customers and when working with contractors and partner organisations to do this.
