Equalities Outcomes 2025-2029

Stirling Council is developing an updated set of equality outcomes for 2025-29. An equality outcome should further one or more of the following needs:

1. eliminate discrimination
2. advance equality of opportunity
3. foster good relations.

These needs form the general equality duty for public authorities.

In other words, equality outcomes are intended to achieve improvements in people’s life chances.

We want to involve a range of people in developing the equality outcomes for 2025-29 – particularly those who share a relevant protected characteristic and their representatives.

There are nine protected characteristics:

1. Age
2. Disability
3. Gender Reassignment
4. Marriage and Civil Partnership
5. Pregnancy and Maternity
6. Race
7. Religion or Belief
8. Sex
9. Sexual Orientation

This survey enables you to contribute to the development of the 2025-29 equality outcomes.

We will take your responses, experiences and stories – and collate them with others’ responses to understand common themes. We will then turn these themes into Equality Outcomes for Stirling, and aim to improve people’s life chances over the next four years.

This survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
