Wiltshire Police Authority
Disability Equality Scheme 2006/2009

To view the documents below you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed:

As from December 2006, the Authority has a duty placed upon on it to:

• Promote equality of opportunity between disabled people and non disabled people;
• Eliminate discrimination that is unlawful under the DDA;
• Eliminate harassment of disabled people that is related to their disability;
• Promote positive attitudes towards disabled people;
• Encourage participation by disabled people in public life; and
• Take steps to meet disabled people’s needs, even if this requires more favourable treatment

In order to meet this duty the Authority is required to publish a Disability Equality Scheme and an Action Plan. These two documents along with the appendices are attached below.

Both the Scheme and the Action Plan are considered to be ‘living’ documents. This means that they can be updated at any time to properly reflect changing circumstances.

If you have any comments or observations you would like to make on the Scheme or the Action Plan please contact either Ron Flux or Sarah Kyte by one of the following options:
