Statement of Non-Discrimination

Sedgwick County does not discriminate in its employment practices, or in the delivery of services or programs, on the basis of race, color, sex, including pregnancy, gender identity and sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry or citizenship, marital status, religious or political affiliation, genetic information, disability, status as a member of the uniformed services, opposition to prohibited discrimination, participation in a discrimination complaint process, or other categories specifically protected by Kansas and federal law. Inquiries related to this policy should be directed to the Sedgwick County Division of Human Resources, 100 N. Broadway, suite 130, Wichita, KS or (316) 660-7050.

  • Non-Discrimination in Programs and Activities, which explains your rights and how to request reasonable accommodations or file a discrimination complaint.

Information on both policies, including how to request assistance or file a complaint, is available through the links on this page and in County facilities open to the public.
