At OPDC, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is integral and central to how we work. Our vision is to be an organisation which identifies, prioritises, enables and champions equitable opportunities for everyone – both staff and our communities – regardless of background, race, age, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or ability.  

This commitment goes beyond our statutory duties under the Equality Act 2010 and is embedded in our culture, decision-making and service delivery. Embracing this diversity will help us ensure that the area’s regeneration is accessible and inclusive which helps to create a more level playing field.

Our EDI strategy sets out our commitment to build on our good foundations to ensure EDI is truly embedded in our work. We regularly review and report on our progress, including through our Inclusive Insights Annual Report.
