We want your views on Equality Outcomes!
The City of Edinburgh Council is asking people about equalities: what is most important to focus on in the next 4 years (2021-2025)? We’ve used research and evidence to write draft Equality outcomes. Each equality outcome aims to improve people’s quality of life, eliminate discrimination and promote understanding between people. Now we need young people to tell us what they think. Your feedback will influence the final outcomes and help us decide on actions that can make a difference. You can give your views by completing this survey. You can respond to all the sections or just the ones you’re most interested in. Thank you!
