Four years ago Dumfries and Galloway Council and NHS Dumfries and Galloway developed and set equality outcomes for those who are living, working and learning in Dumfries and Galloway.
The next four-year phase begins in 2021 and so we are asking for your views to help us prioritise and set new outcomes. We want to know what is important to you with regards to improving equality and inclusion across public services in Dumfries and Galloway.
Councillor Andy Ferguson, Chair of Communities Committee said “We are asking for your views to help us develop, prioritise and set new equality outcomes for those who are living, working and learning in Dumfries and Galloway. We want to build a Dumfries and Galloway where our people have the best possible life chances and experience equality of opportunity in all aspects of life”.
Councillor John Martin, Vice Chair of Communities Committee said “We are consulting on six draft equality themes which are based on research and evidence from a range of sources and this survey provides you the opportunity to tell us what you think of these themes and also to tell us what is important to you as someone who lives, works or learns in our region”.
Dumfries and Galloway Council and NHS Dumfries and Galloway are running a joint online survey from Monday 30th November 2020 to Sunday 24th January 2021 and would like to hear from you to help shape these outcomes.
