This site is a beta, which means it's a work in progress and we'll be adding more to it over the next few weeks. Your feedback helps us make things better, so please let us know what you think.
We’re proud of the success we’ve had in this important area of work, but we also acknowledge that we can go further. This year, here’s what we’re aiming for.
Make the Cheshire police family reflect the communities we serve
We’re committed to recruiting people with a wider range of backgrounds and experiences – and helping them to progress in their careers so that they want to stay with us.
Keep listening to Cheshire’s community stakeholders
Their perspectives strengthen the work we do, especially through our external Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Board and Independent Advisory Group.
Make our local community information more accessible
This is particularly true for people who are deaf or have hearing difficulties.
Update our partnership activities dealing with offences against vulnerable groups
These include violence against women and girls and hate crimes related to race, religion, sexual orientation or gender reassignment. We’re also committed to strengthening the support we provide for victims.
Better understand diversity among offenders and victims of crime
This means improving the quality of the data we provide to help ensure transparency for the Home Office.
Encourage more officers and staff to share their diversity information
We can then use this confidential data to strengthen our policy development through measures such as Equality Impact Assessments. These ensure that we always take equality into consideration when we make decisions.
