The Public Sector Equality Duty Composite Report 2025

NLC Equality Outcomes 2021-2025 Progress Report

The purpose of setting equality outcomes is to ensure there is a clear focus in reducing disadvantage for particular groups of people who may face disproportionate inequality and disadvantage because of a particular characteristic. Key to setting outcomes is that they are based on evidence and the outcome you want will make a difference to the lives of people. Outcomes provide opportunities to make a difference and make right what are often long-standing historic and systemic wrongs.  Importantly our Outcomes are set within a Performance Management Framework that allows progress to be monitored and measured.

The outcomes, subject of this progress report, were set in 2021. The following section provides information on progress over the last 4 years; a spotlight initiative to highlight areas of success; and what aspects of the general duty each outcome advances.

  1. Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct that is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010;

  2. Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a relevant protected characteristic and those who do not; and

  3. Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
