Equality and diversity
In order to fulfil its duties under the
Equality Act 2010 and as part of its commitment to promoting
equality and tackling disadvantage within the Borough, the Council
has set three Equality Objectives. These are:
- Improve the number of visitors to the
museum aged 55+ by 5% over the next year. This target is then
expected to recur but this will be assessed after the first
year.
- Increase the proportion of men
registering for the Healthy Weight Programme from 24% to 28% over
the next year, depending on continued funding. Subject to review,
targets would then be set for each of the next three years leading
to a probable target of 40% by the end of the fourth year.
- Increase the proportion of people aged 18-24
who feel that the Council keeps people ‘well informed’ or ‘fairly
well informed’ about services and benefits to 58% over four
years.
For more information about the requirement to
set Equality Objectives and the reasons for choosing these
objectives, please see the record of the decision made by the
Cabinet on 14 March 2012.
