Remit and membership
We aim to improve co-ordination and integration between public sector organisations and communities of interest for the nine protected characteristics of:
- age
- disability
- gender reassignment
- marriage and civil partnership
- pregnancy and maternity
- race
- religion or belief
- sex or gender
- sexual orientation
We identify opportunities for joint working that improve the efficiency of services in Dumfries and Galloway; and respond effectively to the needs of communities and individuals within these strands.
