Equality mapping is one process we use to collect, analyse and use data.
The information is confidential and used only for monitoring purposes. No personal information, such as a name or address are used in collating statistical data.
Publishing and using equality information is a requirement under the Specific Duties of the Equality Act 2010. It will help the council demonstrate compliance and concentrate efforts on the most important equality issues and enable progress to be monitored.
By gathering and using equality information it will help us to:
- understand the effect on equality of our current and proposed policies
- identify what the key priority equality issues are for the council
- set the most appropriate equality objectives.
The publishing of equality information is an ongoing process, and will regularly updated.
