Equality Objectives

 

 

Public authorities have specific duties under the Equality Act to help them comply with the public sector equality duty, including a requirement to prepare and publish equality objectives at least every four years.

 

The county council's corporate strategy; 'Our Vision for Lancashire', provides an opportunity to rethink and reframe the Council's Equality Objectives so that they are clearly aligned to the priorities set out in the corporate strategy. Proposed objectives are set out in the following report.
