How we monitor progress and identify equality issues

We will achieve this in the following ways:

  • The actions and priorities identified in this equality statement will be monitored throughout 2024 as part of a new equalities action plan that will be monitored by the council’s leadership team. Updates will also be presented to the council’s Cabinet.
  • A full progress update will be reported in the council’s next equality statement in 2025.
  • We are monitored by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the government’s Equalities Office to ensure equality issues are addressed.
