Equality and diversity
Our society is becoming more complex and diverse. Overall
population is growing, we are more ethnically diverse, and we are
getting older. New patterns of migration have affected previously
homogenous communities.
Equality legislation has helped challenge much discrimination
and prejudice, but there are still big equality gaps. Councils and
their partners have a real opportunity to challenge inequality, to
ensure that everyone has an equal chance in life and to respond to
the diverse needs of the communities they serve.
