Equality Objectives
The five equality objectives for the council are:
- Reducing inequality by improving outcomes for local residents
- Providing "equality friendly" services to all customers
- Improving resident/service user perceptions of fair treatment by the council
- Improving workforce representation to reflect the communities we serve
- Improving workforce perceptions of fair treatment by, and within, the council
Progress against these objectives will be measured against a list of key indicators.
