What is Equality and Diversity
Team Medway strives to create an environment that is free from discrimination and exploitation and challenges action deemed to contravene this ethos. Equality of Opportunity is a central value of our organisation and we seek to ensure all our services and activities are accessible and inclusive. We endeavour to uphold both the right of individuals to feel valued and respected, and the responsibility of individuals to act without prejudice.
