We are setting our new Equality Outcomes for 2025-29. These will build on the work started as part of the 2021-25 outcomes.
What are equality outcomes?
Equality outcomes are part of the public sector equality duties. They play a small but important role in testing new ideas to reach some of the most excluded groups. Most of our EDI work attends to all characteristics. Equality outcomes are in addition to this and help us identify and address specific issues.
This means characteristics which are not listed in our equality outcomes are still a priority for us. We attend to their needs through our mainstream and people strands.
Equality Outcomes consultation
Our Equality Outcomes in 2021-25 were person-centred and focused on people that:
- Live in poverty and low income
- Experience mental health problems
- Are over 50 years old
- Are part of our diverse ethnic communities
We intend to retain these outcomes and these focus groups as our 2025-29 equality outcomes, building on the learning from our 2021-25 outcomes.
We continue to build on the networks and learning from our work across other protected characteristics, specifically women and girls, people with disabilities and those living in areas of high deprivation.
Why we are consulting?
We want to sense check that these outcomes and focus groups are still relevant for 2025-29. We want to hear from people with a variety of life and personal experiences.
