Equality & Diversity
We want to secure genuine equality of opportunity, whether required by legislation or not, in all aspects of our activities as an employer. Attracting under represented groups to the service is a priority and a key objective in the recruitment campaigns for all types of employees. This is being achieved through targeted advertising, awareness events and the provision of accurate information to target groups which address any misconceptions which may be held regarding the role of a firefighter, and the range of opportunities within the service.
Existing statutory equality schemes, Race, Disability and Gender will be expanded to include the other strands of diversity, Age, Religion and Belief and Sexual Orientation, with a view to creating an all encompassing equality scheme for the Service. Our commitment to the Welsh language is demonstrated in our Welsh Language scheme and we are also adapting our services to meet the need for other languages in response to community requirements.
