Trafford Council Staff Anti Racism Policy and Procedure (opens as a PDF)
The purpose of this policy is to communicate to all managers and colleagues that ‘the Trafford way’ is always to provide wrap around support for any colleagues who experiences racist abuse from anyone in a work context, including a client, customer or colleague. This wrap around support will come from their manager, head of service and the Corporate Leadership Team. It is vital that when colleagues interact with clients and customers, they feel confident that incidents of a racist nature will not be tolerated and that the steps necessary to address any issues will be taken by Trafford Council.
It explains how the Council will fulfil its legal duties under the Equality Act 2010 and describes the procedures which are in place to prevent racist incidents, and to ensure there is a consistent, practical response should they arise.
The Anti-Racism policy applies also to situations where one or more than one colleague exhibits racist behaviour or discriminatory practices to one or more colleagues.
