Strategic Equalities Plan Annual Report 2025-26
The Committee recommended that the equalities survey include clearer options on neurodivergence (how a person's brain processes and learns differently), mental health and physical disabilities, as some people may not identify with these under a single disability category. It asked that future reports include more outcome-focused data to show the impact and effectiveness of projects. It noted that useful equalities data from schools is limited, which restricts how far outcomes and impact can be assessed. It recommended that future reports point to relevant education data in the plan where this would add context on outcomes and impact. It noted the report showed a clear commitment to equalities and said it was content with the report.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
