Equality data and objectives

Our 2030 vision for the borough aims over the next twenty years to work in collaboration with our communities and our partners to ‘develop the borough to be distinctive, vibrant and thriving, with a happy, high achieving community at its heart’.

Central to realising this commitment is overcoming inequalities and promoting equality for residents and staff to help us achieve a fair and high achieving society.

Our equality objectives responds to our communities’ priorities and aspirations

  • Meeting the needs of an ageing population

  • Meeting the needs of children and young people in the borough

  • Tackling crime and community safety

  • Improving education and helping people to improve their skills

The equalities objectives also aim to contribute to the following corporate priorities of the council:

  • Help and support for our residents who need it most

  • Bright futures for the borough’s children and young people

  • A safe borough

  • An ambitious council which improves the lives of residents and works in a transparent way

We have focussed on publishing public sector data that will enable people to compare the current performance against future performance. This will allow residents and the council to assess the progress made towards achieving our equality objectives.
