The Strategy sets out our approach to improving equality, diversity and inclusion over the four-year period (2024 – 2027). It is based on the Local Government Association (LGA) Equality Framework for Local Government 2021 (EFLG) and outlines our plans to improve in each of the four modules, to initially progress from the current level of ‘developing’ to reach ‘achieving’ level. This forms part of our longer-term aim to gain a rating of ‘excellent’ level.
The strategy was developed in consultation with officers across the council and was informed by research and engagement with residents through surveys and workshops.
