Equality objectives 2025-2029
SEL ICB’s new set of statutory Equality Objectives have now been developed and published. These are in line with our work on the Equality Delivery System 2022 to ensure that our new objectives are evidence-based and fully engaged with.
These objectives, which will be refreshed annually, focus on reducing inequalities, improving workforce capacity, skills and wellbeing, and ensuring equitable and inclusive access, experience and outcomes for people and communities who use our services or staff who are employed by the ICB.
The new Equality Objectives fall broadly into these four categories:
