Help shape our future strategy

We are working to refresh the Council's Equality & Diversity Strategy (2010-13) & Single Equality Scheme (SES) which expires at the end of this year. Over the next few weeks we are keen to hear from individuals and groups who have ideas regarding how we can improve on the current document.

We have prepared a short presentation explaining what we are trying to achieve and how we will do it. To see the progress on all our current equality priorities, take a look at our Single Equality Scheme Plan.

You can help us shape our strategy for years 2014-17 in the following ways:
