Consultation has concluded

This Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy builds on our Corporate Plan and sets out our continued commitment to tackling inequality and promoting diversity. This covers both our legal duty under The Equality Act 2010 and our wider ambition to reduce socio-economic inequality in the city.

Over the last year, we have spoken to residents, community groups, businesses, councillors and people that work at the council to better understand what challenges they face. This could be as:

  • an employee of Norwich City Council
  • someone accessing the services we provide
  • a person living, travelling, studying or working in the city

These conversations, along with a range of data and evidence, have helped to shape our ambition so far. We are keen to get better. Your feedback will help us ensure our work on improving equality is informed by local people’s priorities.

How to get involved?

  Read through this page and open the one page summary or full strategy under 'key documents'

  Complete the survey below - you do not need to create an account and your answers will be anonymous

  The consultation opens on Monday 14 August 2023 and closes Sunday 17 September 2023  

What's next?

The final strategy will include a summary of the consultation and explain how your feedback has helped shape our future plans and activities. This will be uploaded to Get Talking Norwich. The strategy team will also develop a detailed action plan to support the strategy, which will be updated yearly.

Progress will be published as part of our Annual Equality Information Report which is reported to Cabinet each January ahead of the annual budget, so the council’s strategic approach continues to influence how our resources are spent.

    Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Survey

    Please answer the questions that are important to you. 

    You don't have to fill in every single question, skip the one's you're not interested in - we don't mind!

    The survey includes 8 questions on the ambition, aims and priorities within the strategy. There are also some monitoring questions that will help us understand who in our communities has responded and if we need to do further work to make sure we engage with underrepresented people and groups.
