The report which is a statutory duty is used in a variety of ways by the council and its stakeholders such as using it for comparison purposes on equality matters by service areas. This report is Brent Council’s eighth Annual Equalities report and covers the period from April 2008 to March 2009 and will be a key document used during the assessment for the Equality Framework for Local Government (EFLG).
