Equality, diversity and inclusion

Equality, Diversity and Cohesion Delivery

In March 2024, Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet approved five equality objectives for the council. These are:

To reduce inequality and improve life chances through:

  • how we focus resources to improve equality outcomes
  • supporting our most vulnerable residents to overcome challenges and connect them to support that is tailored to their needs
  • delivering on our plans for inclusive economic growth

To lead the city in celebrating diversity and tackling inequality through:

  • demonstrating inclusive leadership
  • good decision-making that is based on excellent equality data and impact assessments
  • impactful local and national partnerships
  • placing equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our organisational and city-wide policies and strategies         

To foster good relationships within Liverpool’s diverse communities and better understand their needs by:

  • improving our local knowledge and how we communicate
  • listening to local voices and working together to find solutions
  • building accessible neighbourhoods that are confident, welcoming and where people feel they belong 

To provide and commission excellent services that:

  • are accessible and inclusive
  • use good data and actively engage with residents to meet their needs
  • make the best use of different delivery models and partnership working    

To be an inclusive employer:

  • where our workforce better reflects Liverpool’s diverse communities at all levels across the organisation
  • that ensures our employees and elected members have the values, skills and knowledge to be inclusive
