Equalities objectives

Measuring and monitoring our performance and steering our actions

Ealing is a diverse, multicultural borough and we are committed to supporting and celebrating this diversity. In order to ensure we continue to make progress towards eliminating discrimination and advancing equality of opportunity for all in the borough, we have set ourselves some key equality objectives. This is also a statutory obligation for us under the Equality Act 2010.

Ealing’s equality objectives were reviewed at the end of 2020 and the following objectives were agreed for the period 2020-2024. 

  1. Access to our information, services and facilities is fair and equitable for everyone 
  2. High levels of community cohesion are maintained 
  3. Gaps in outcomes for citizens are narrowed 
  4. A positive, diverse and inclusive workforce is ensured and promoted 
  5. A robust accurate evidence base of equalities information relating to the community is available and up to date 
  6. Equality related evidence is embedded into the decision-making process and forms an integral part of the evidence base for strategy and project development and delivery

Actions to help achieve these objectives are contained in our council plan.
