Faith & Belief
Bridgend County Borough Council is committed to valuing diversity in the community and respects the rights of individuals to practise their religion or beliefs without fear of intimidation, harassment or violence.
The council will provide flexible and responsive services and working practices that are sensitive and respectful of people’s religious and other beliefs, practices and obligations.
We will work with the local community to promote understanding and break down barriers between faith and other communities and promote diverse religious festivals and events.
We are committed to challenging intolerance and will work with partner organisations to tackle unlawful discrimination on the grounds of religion or other beliefs.
To find out more, read our draft Faith & Belief Equality Statement.
New feature: @Committee
This section will inform you when an issue relating to faith and belief is discussed at the Council’s Equalities Committee, since the Committee was established in the summer of 2006.
