Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy has been developed based on feedback from residents.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Making a Living Strategy and Delivery Plan has been developed with residents through a series of community conversations and from the recommendations created at the EDI Making a Living Summit. The Strategy builds on the evidence of structural inequality gathered in our State of the Borough report, published in 2021.
