Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service embrace the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Duty it places upon us. To ensure we know what we need to know we look at all our functions and partnerships through a Strategic equality and diversity lens. Our Equality and Diversity function sits within our Human Resource department and is a guiding principle in our Safety Plan. The Safety Plan supports our ability to prioritise risk so we can evidence that we put our communities first. Our People Strategy details how our staff can expect to be treated with dignity and respect, in open recognition of who they are at every level of their career. This means that all the decisions the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner make, the way we deliver our services, review our data collection, work with our developed and developing partnerships, with our internal and external relationships has an Equality and Diversity focus at a strategic level.
