The Equality and Diversity Panel is a service user and community reference panel.

The Panel acts as the Council’s “critical friend” in supporting the Council’s compliance with the Equality Duty when invited to take part in the equality impact analysis of key Council policies and proposals.

The Equality and Diversity Panel provides for 15 community members drawn from a range of community organisations and individuals who have knowledge and experience on equality issues in the borough.  If you are interested in being a community member please contact us for more details.
