Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

At Norfolk Community Law Service we treat everyone as equals. We are committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion among our clients, workforce and volunteers.

The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and our clients, and for each client, employee and volunteer to feel respected, listened to and able to give their best.

The organisation – in providing services – is also committed against unlawful discrimination of clients or the public.

These are reflected in our Mission and Values, which are outlined below and drive everything that we do.
