Equalities and Cohesion Our LAA recognises that the County is a mixture of both urban and rural environments. This Agreement seeks to balance the needs of people living here. We recognise that Warwickshire is a diverse county and we will aspire to value the uniqueness of each person. We recognise that people may be, or perceive that they are treated differently on the basis of their age, disability, gender, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, culture or sexual orientation. In everything we do we will aim to remove unfairness and promote equality of opportunity, equal access and good relations between people from all backgrounds. Across the blocks there are targeted approaches involving work with groups experiencing the worst outcomes and a key priority is strengthening communities to improve cohesion. We have convened a special purpose group to assist with this work and to proof the LAA in respect of Equality and Cohesion issues as the beginning of an ongoing process to embed these issues at the heart of the LAA strategic and delivery arrangements. The Group will assist Block Leaders and partner agencies have identified the key issues that they must take into account in respect of Equalities and Cohesion when preparing and implementing their delivery plans and have also proofed the LAA as a high level strategic document. In adopting such an approach there is a recognition amongst all partners that the LAA should, wherever possible, actively promote equality of opportunity for all.
