Footnotes

1) Strategy: NTA Equality and Diversity Strategy

The NTA equality and diversity strategy

The NTA equality and diversity strategy was both a response to additional statutory

obligations under new diversity legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act

2005 and the re-iteration of the NTA’s commitment to working towards genuinely

appropriate drug misuse treatment for all. As a special health authority, the NTA has

general and specific duties in order to meet its statutory obligations under a suite of

equality and diversity legislation. The equality and diversity strategy underpins and

informs all aspects of the work of the NTA. All NTA staff are required to implement

the strategy in their day to day work. Figure 1 illustrates the continuous improvement

approach to the operation, implementation and review of this cross-cutting strategy.
