Have your say: East Lothian Equality Outcomes 2025-2029

The Equality Act 2010 requires public bodies, such as local authorities and health and social care partnerships (HSCPs) to develop equality outcomes every four years.

Equality Outcomes help us to:

  • progress equality objectives
  • consider how we will meet the needs of everyone in the community to access our services and improve their health and life opportunities
  • create a space to discuss and tackle discrimination and the causes of disadvantage

East Lothian has been working with partners across Midlothian and West Lothian to identify themes on which we can take action.

We would like to hear your views on the themes and your suggestions for actions to help us understand which things are most important to you.


Take the survey

You can answer for yourself (as a private citizen), as a representative of a group, or as part of your professional role.

You can share your views on all equality theme areas, or just the ones most relevant to you or your work.

Equality Outcomes Survey 2025-2029

NB: This pan-Lothian survey is being hosted online by our partners at Midlothian Council.
You will be asked to select which part of the Lothians your answers relate to in the first question of the survey. Please avoid identifying yourself or others in your answers.
