What's Your Experience Of Dealing With Council Services In The Last Year?
As part of the Council's work to tackle inequalities they want to ask your views so that they can improve their services.
The Council want everyone to feel welcome in Edinburgh, whether they live, work, study, or visit here. Every four years, the Council publishes equality outcomes that set out the work they will do to tackle inequalities in the city and make improvements to our services.
Equality outcomes are part of the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Framework that outlines all the Council’s efforts to address inequality in the city.
They want to base their next framework and equality outcomes for 2026-2030 on research and what people tell them.
Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership
In Edinburgh, the Council and NHS Lothian work together. They provide community health and social care services for adults. They aim to promote good health and wellbeing. The Edinburgh Integration Joint Board (EIJB) directs this work. The EIJB have their own Equality Outcomes for 2024-28.
You can find out more information about the EIJB by visiting their website.
Why your views matter
Recently, the Council spoke with groups that support different people in the city and they spoke about the equality issues affecting communities.
These issues affect areas of day-to-day life for everyone. This includes access to Council services that help people with employment, housing, personal safety and the democratic process.
They now want to hear about your experiences to help them set their future equality outcomes and framework.
Your feedback can show them how to improve services. They want to make sure everyone can access and engage with them, no matter their needs.
