Workforce equalities profile 2023 to 2024

The Workforce Equalities Profile 2023-2024 explores the workforce profile of council services (excluding schools) at Buckinghamshire Council (BC) over the past year to demonstrate our compliance to the Public Sector Equality Duty (Equality Act, 2010), and compares this to the data contained in the previous two years’ Workforce Equalities Profiles reports.

The Equality Duty requires public bodies to publish information which demonstrates our due regard to:

• eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010;
• advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; and
• foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

We maintain an ongoing commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), with our EDI steering group and four staff networks spearheading internal and external delivery of our action plan across our directorates, ensuring EDI is firmly embedded as a key part of the Council’s culture.
