Equality and Human Rights
We recognise that everyone is different and we are committed to working for equality and fairness for all. Surrey and Borders Partnership is passionate about developing a culture that values human differences and similarities at every level of the organisation.
We are also committed to ensuring that we:
- Provide accessible and inclusive services to all
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- Advance equality of opportunity between different groups
- Foster good relations between different groups
We have teamed up with Disabled Go to help disabled people plan visits to Trust services with information on all of our sites and accessibility details. Visit our pages on the Disabled Go website.

Our Single Equality Scheme
We are currently developing a three year Single Equality Scheme which reflects changes in our statutory duty, as defined in the Equality Act 2010 as well as our ongoing commitment to the points mentioned above.
Our Single Equality Scheme 2010-2013 will strive to ensure these outcomes are met and monitored, enabling the Trust to continue its aim to deliver world class services and employment practices across Surrey and North East Hampshire, none of which can be achieved without delivering a legacy of positive change for everyone who uses our services and those that we employ.
Our scheme is based on feedback received from people who use services, carers, staff and other stakeholders during the consultation period in 2010.
