Our Gender Equality Scheme (GES) 2007-10

Our GES (2007-10) sets out the steps we will take to address discrimination and persistent gender inequality, and challenge barriers that prevent people from working for and with Northumbria Police Authority. It also tells you about the projects we will develop to improve people’s quality of life and to build relationships between Northumbria Police and our communities.

It draws together the work that Northumbria Police Authority is doing across its services. It also meets the requirements of the Equal Pay Act (1970) and the Sex Discrimination Act (1975) as amended by the Equality Act (2006).

Carrying out the actions in this Scheme will encourage us, in all of our activities, to actively challenge discriminatory, oppressive and abusive behaviour, which is based on prejudice and stigma. It will also make sure that we go beyond our legal requirements and make changes that result in fair and positive outcomes for everyone who lives and works in Northumbria.

The Gender Equality Scheme is available in alternative formats and languages on request.
