Protecting your rights and Freedoms

Protecting Human Rights, Equalities & Diversity

We value everyone as an individual. That is why we want Calderdale to be a beacon for Human Rights, Equalities and Diversity. Too many people still face discrimination, prejudice and hatred and we are determined to stamp this out. We would ensure the Council is at the forefront of setting an example on the equalities agenda.

Tackling religious intolerance

We value being tolerant of others views and beliefs that is why a Liberal Democrat Council would work to tackle intolerance of others people’s religious beliefs. We would also ensure that we treat everyone as individuals and do not give any special preferential treatment to any particular group of people.

Improving disabled access

It is shocking that there are still railway stations such as Todmorden that do not have full disabled access. We would seek to improve disabled access right across the Borough. Working with charities and NGOs to ensure our public spaces are accessible for all.

Privacy guidelines

We value everyone as an individual. That’s why we would ensure Calderdale Council respects residents personal privacy and introduce a new gold standard for local government. We won’t share or use your personal data for research without your consent; we will keep you informed about how your data is used. We will allow you to opt out of any profiling.
