Equality information and analysis

Effective service delivery depends on having a deep understanding of our community’s needs and experiences. By using equality information, we can make sure we have thought about opportunities to promote equality, eliminate discrimination and foster good relations across all protected characteristics and other vulnerable groups when making decisions.

Equality information is used when we develop our corporate plans, and it gives us an understanding of what our equality objectives should be.

We continuously review and provide equalities information in line with our commitment to the Equality Act and Transparency Code of Practice. Please visit the transparency page for more information about our commitment to transparency.

Key reports and analysis

We regularly publish reports and data that provide insight into our progress and challenges. Our latest publications include comprehensive analyses of our workforce diversity, service user experiences, and community demographics. These are used to inform and develop our due regard statements.

Latest equality reports:

Office of National Statistics (ONS) data from the Gloucestershire 2011 census provides the most robust break down of the county's population and within this particular equality groups.

The Office for National Statistics publish mid-year Population Estimates annually.

Each report helps us track progress and identify areas where we need to focus more attention or resources.
