Equality monitoring
Knowing our communities
Knowing the community we serve is important to us. It helps us understand how our policies and practices effect our residents to ensure that we meet the needs and aspirations of the community we serve.
We collect and use a range of equality information to ensure that we have enough evidence to inform the decisions we make. This includes data from our surveys, which is collated and analysed in order to inform policy decisions and identify gaps in participation. To collect this information, all our external surveys include equality monitoring questions in relation to the protected characteristics.
For information on our most recent consultations and surveys, visit our consulation page.
All committee and council reports include details on equality implications of proposed recommendations so that elected members are aware of them when taking decisions. You can browse meeting reports, agendas and minutes online.
