Simple terms explainer:
Councils must regularly report on how they are meeting their equality responsibilities. This means publishing a progress report at least every two years showing how equality is being built into everyday work, and setting clear equality outcomes at least every four years to help improve fairness and reduce discrimination. These reports make sure the council is transparent, accountable, and focused on creating better outcomes for all communities.
