About monitoring and reporting

Monitoring and reporting on progress against our strategy and objectives needs to be part of the formal governance process within the council.

To monitor and evaluate progress, we will:

  • Establish an Equality Working Group to manage and progress actions to support the council’s equality objectives.
  • Produce an annual equality report that will be made publicly available, and presented to the council’s Executive.
  • Continue to make sure that all equality impact assessments for key decisions are available for review
  • Develop an equality, diversity and inclusion dashboard that will be integrated into the Somerset Intelligence portal
  • Complete a peer support review using the Equalities Framework for Local Government and the Disability Confident scheme as external evaluation of our progress.
