Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I)

We have examples of good practice in providing culturally appropriate services and addressing the needs of those with protected characteristics. We know that 3.1% of the county's population live in areas of high deprivation, where males live 8.7 years less and females live 6.5 years less compared to the least deprived areas (view the JSNA Infographic on Health Inequalities 2022-2023). We have a strong Public Health offer to oversee initiatives to reduce health inequalities.
