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.
