Single Equality Scheme

The City of London has a Single Equality Scheme which sets out how we intend to meet our general and specific duties under the Equality Act 2010.  It also lists the equality objectives that we have developed in collaboration with our stakeholders.  The aim is to make equality a central part of the way we work by putting it at the centre of policy making, service delivery and employment practice.

It builds upon our earlier Race, Disability and Gender Equality Schemes, the first of which was published in 2002.

Equalities monitoring

In line with Government and EHRC best practice, the City Corporation monitors the age, ethnicity, disability status, gender, marital status and religious belief within its workforce profile, and in returns to the recruitment selection process. We have now begun monitoring against all available equality categories including sexual orientation, gender and pay.

The monitoring results, an analysis of their meaning, and actions that follow on from this analysis are reported to the Establishment Committee in open Committee Reports which are available to the general public and in PDF format below to download.

The City also monitors gender and pay in line with our responsibilities under the Equalities Act 2010.

For more information about working for the City of London please visit our Job Opportunities page.

The City of London also monitors ethnicity, culture, age, gender and disability of its resident population as part of its corporate consultation strategy.

The purpose of this reporting and monitoring is to highlight possible inequalities, investigate their underlying causes and remove any unfairness or disadvantage. This process also helps the City of London monitor its own progress against the CRE Action Plan (above) and the Corporate Equalities Plan (above) . This information is also fed into local service planning, the Community Strategy ( The City Together Strategy: The Heart of a World Class City 2008-2014 ) and the City of London’s annual Business Planning cycle, and ensures that services are relevant and accurately represent all the communities served by the City of London.

City Police

The City of London is also the Police Authority for the City of London Police, and this responsibility is mainly delegated to the City of London's Police Committee. The Single Equality Scheme for the Police Committee can be found at Appendix F of the City's Scheme.
