The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is
conducting a formal Inquiry into Disability-Related Harassment. As
part of this Inquiry the Commission has asked members of the public
and groups representing disabled people to tell them about their
experiences. In addition, they are asking public bodies and public
transport providers what steps they are taking to meet their legal
obligations to prevent disabled people being harassed. Dorset
Police has responded to the Inquiry by providing an overview of
current Force activity and our aspirations for the future.
Dorset Police is committed to playing our part
in preventing and eliminating disability-related harassment. Our
people-focussed approach puts the individual at the heart of
everything we do. The Force accepts the need to continually improve
if we are to achieve the best possible outcomes for disabled
people. We welcome the potential opportunity the Inquiry presents
for identifying learning and national best practice.
