Tendring District Council is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to its services and can play an active role in their community.

Through a new Local Strategic Partnership Board a Sustainable Community Strategy for the district is being developed which will identify the needs of the district, and in particular where inequalities occur, focusing specifically on areas of deprivation. Through joint working, the partners aim to improve the quality of life for the residents of Tendring, and to build on the attraction of the district to visitors, allowing good access to all.

The District Council is committed to Equality and Diversity, and in both removing barriers that might restrict people's access to services and proactively working towards positive change. The Council aims to promote equal opportunities and ensure nobody is discriminated against, directly or indirectly, as a result of their disability.
