Our Equality Reference Group supports the County Council’s work on equality and diversity by providing advice, feedback, 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 change. Equality Reference Group members from the voluntary and community sector are independent of the County Council, and Service Level Agreements are in place.
Community organisations can request agenda items or raise questions by discussing this with one of the members; for example, if you are a disability organisation then contact the disability representative which is Living Options Devon. If you are not sure who to contact, please email the Lead Officer for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. Please note, the group focuses on strategic policy and planning matters and does not represent individual complainants. If you have a complaint, please use the Council’s feedback process.
