Equality Action Plan

The Equality Action Plan not only contributes to the Council’s compliance with Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, but it also sets out how the Council plans to address key inequalities as it strives to create a District where people chose to live, work and visit.

The Equality Action Plan 2025-2028 contains 33 actions to be delivered during the two year period, and these are broken down into key themes, namely:

• Priority A: Community & Wellbeing

Provide opportunities for Section 75 Categories to participate in community, health and wellbeing activities.

• Priority B: Employment

Support Section 75 Categories with training and employment.

• Priority C: Council Services

Ensure all Council services and activities promote equality of opportunity and meet statutory duties.

• Priority D: Staff Development and Internal Resources

Ensure staff are continuously educated on Section 75 duties, and promote equality and good relations between staff.
