Equalities Action Group (EAG)

The EAG consists of equalities professionals and representatives who are working together to support the Bristol Partnership with training, developing relationships with equalities communities and developing the tools to better ensure the Bristol 20:20 Plan benefits all Bristol residents. The EAG meets quarterly and works to ensure that equalities is a key performance measure within the Bristol Partnership.

The group is a source of knowledge and creativity that supports Partners in reducing the disparities that are evident across the city and in identifying inequalities; working to ensure that no one is disadvantaged by colour, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief or because they are transgender.
