Integrating Equality and Diversity in Local Government

This project focuses on integrating equality and diversity in local government to maximize resources and enhance satisfaction levels of customers, staff, stakeholders, and elected members. The aim is to become an exemplar council by addressing perceptions, legislative requirements, and promoting inclusivity. Stakeholders involved include elected members, staff, public and private leaders, and customers. The project involves implementing good relations strategies, participation in delivery of peace initiatives, and enhancing community relations. Staff are engaged through policy statements, gender action plans, and competency-based frameworks. Business aspects include procurement policies and access to best practices. Customers benefit from improved services, customer care, and disability action plans. The ultimate goal is to become an exemplar employer, comply with legislation, improve stakeholder satisfaction, optimize resource utilization, enhance communication, and contribute to community planning.
