Class definition
Here you will find current statements of principle providing guidance and direction to staff in respect of a specific issue or piece of legislation.
It should be noted that some of the material in this Class contains exempt information, which in the public interest, should not be published. Where this occurs the material will clearly show where information has been withheld and explain what exemption has been applied and why. Typically, information may be withheld if its release would compromise the health and safety of staff, investigations & proceedings and law enforcement more generally.
We have revised our process for assessing the impact of our policies and practices with regard to the protected groups stated within the Equality Act 2010. We are applying this new process to all of our existing policies and practices. View our completed Equality Impact Assessments.|
