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.
  • The Deal 2030 has always been a community-led approach and we continue to strengthen and build new relationships to give participants the time, space, information and support to inform our decisions, policies, services and projects. This ensures seldom heard groups can have their say on issues that may affect 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 Deal for Communities Team.
