Our equality objectives

Published: 24 September 2025 Page last updated: 7 November 2025

We have a duty to publish equality objectives to meet Equality Act 2010 regulations.

These equality objectives cover 4 years, because that is in line with the regulations.

Our 4 equality objectives are priorities and aim to help to deliver equality for:

  • people who use health and social care services, or people who have more difficulty accessing these services
  • people working in health and social care
  • health and care providers that we regulate
  • our own workforce

Our equality objectives are to:

  1. amplify voices of people more likely to have poor care
  2. develop systems to gather equality data to better understand and respond to equality risks
  3. improve equality by using our regulatory and monitoring activities
  4. deliver on our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategy for our workforce.
