Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council - Consultation for our Strategic Equality Plan 2024-2028

We are consulting on our Strategic Equality Plan for 2024-2028 and we need your input and views to shape and inform our new objectives.

Building upon our Strategic Equality Plan 2020-2024, we aim to improve equal opportunities within our community and in service delivery, employment, commissioning, leadership and working in partnership.

The themes and objectives from the 2020-2024 plan are still important, and we are asking whether anything else needs to be included.

What are we asking you to consider?

We are asking you to consider the following when answering the questions:

  • What challenges are people facing within the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil?
