Launching our HSCP's Equality Outcomes 2024 to 2028

We are pleased to launch our new Equalities Outcomes 2024 to 2028. The outcomes have been developed in partnership with key stakeholders across the city, including staff, partner organisations, equality organisations and their members.

The key outcomes reflect the diverse needs of Glasgow City and the range of services we deliver. They provide a focus for our actions over the next four years, rather than everything that we do to address and reduce inequality in the city.
