Hammersmith & Fulham Council is committed to tackling inequality and ensuring our borough is a safe place for everyone to live, work and visit.
This strategy builds on the success of Hammersmith & Fulham's Equalities Plan 2021-2025 and feeds into our wider strategies for tackling crime.
The Equalities Plan was developed to demonstrate our commitment to address inequalities in H&F and highlights how the council will put fairness, equity, and compassion at the heart of everything we do.
The five equality objectives are: -
- Everyone in our borough feels valued and that they belong.
- Removing barriers to inclusion.
- Ensuring that our services tackle the disproportionate impact on young people (including those at risk of street crime and exploitation by gangs).
- Improving opportunities for all.
- Becoming an employer of choice and fostering greater inclusion.
In addition to the Equalities Plan, the council has also published the H&F Plan which outlines the council's strategy to deliver the H&F Vision and what we want to achieve for our residents. As part of this, we have committed to creating 'a safer borough for everyone', including delivering this hate crime strategy.
