Our Equality Reference Group advises and supports the County Council’s work on equality and diversity, providing ideas and scrutiny.  It symbolises the partnership of Devon County Council with the local community in its commitment to equality, and includes members from various local organisations pressing for equality.  Although acknowledged and supported by the Council, the Equality Reference Group members are independent of the County Council.  Service Level Agreements are in place.
