Equalities Outcomes 2021-2025
Dumfries and Galloway Council is committed to equality of opportunity for all people within our community. We have published a range of policies and reports which show how we are meeting our legal duties.
The last equality outcomes were developed and set four years ago, with the next four-year phase beginning in 2025. The council want to know what is important to members of the public with regards to improving equality and inclusion across public services in Dumfries and Galloway.
Dumfries and Galloway Council and NHS Dumfries and Galloway are running a joint online survey from Monday 28 October 2024 until Sunday 1 December 2024 and would like to hear from the public to help shape these outcomes. The link to the survey is available below:
Everyone should have the same chances to do what they can but some people may need extra help. The Equality Act 2010 intends to make Britain a fairer and equal place for everyone. We have a duty to:
- eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- promote equality of opportunity
- foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
Our equality outcomes and associated actions are based on views and experiences that local people have shared with us.
