Knowing our communities

Our equality duty aims to embed equality and good relations into the day-to-day business of the Council. By routinely collecting and analysing information about our communities, we can identify where need is greatest and respond in a fair, transparent way.

  • State of the Borough - The Council’s State of the Borough is a living resource providing information on the demographic profiles of the borough, including any protected characteristics. It shares updates about our residents and the impact public services are having on their lives.
  • Identifying high risk residents - Known as 'risk stratification', this involves sharing intelligence between public services to identify high risk residents and ensure they are supported in the best possible way.
  • Progress with Unity is a partnership between residents, businesses, public services and community organisations. The two key missions are to create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and to make all our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.

For more information on any of the groups, to change any of the details or if you wish to be added to the list please contact the Communities Team.
