We're committed to equality and human rights throughout our work.
It underpins how we register and inspect services and is embedded into the way we perform as an employer.
Meeting your needs and protecting your rights
When we inspect services, we take into account how they:
- consider your protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010
- protect your human rights, treating you fairly, with respect and dignity
- give you choice and control over the care you receive
- take action to ensure equality for their staff, as this will improve the quality of the care that they provide.
Our human rights approach to regulation helps make sure that everyone receives safe and good-quality care.
Equality objectives
Our equality objectives are priorities to help deliver equality for:
- people who use health and social care services
- people working in health and social care
- health and care providers that we regulate
- our own workforce
The objectives cover 4 years, in line with Equality Act 2010 regulations.
