Strategic Equality Plan 2024-2028 – Objectives and Actions

The draft Strategic Equality Plan has been developed to primarily demonstrate the Council's commitment to meeting the Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011.

The Strategic Equality Plan 2024-2028 includes 7 equality objectives that outline how Caerphilly County Borough Council intends to deliver its equalities commitments, whilst continuing to be an inclusive organisation that does not tolerate discrimination.

This consultation aims to seek the views on the proposed Equality Objectives outlined within the draft Plan, and to identify key actions for delivering these objectives moving forward.

Why are we consulting?

In Wales there are specific statutory duties, which are regulations that set out the actions the Council must take to comply. The Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011 were published by Welsh Government in April 2011 and one of the areas is setting Equality Objectives.

Equality Objectives – prepare and publish a set of equality objectives which meet the Public Sector Equality Duty.

We are therefore consulting on our Equality Objectives and associated actions to ensure that they are fit for purpose and cover the areas that are important to the citizens of Caerphilly County Borough.
