- Build understanding, tackle prejudice and foster good relations between protected groups.
- To act as a joint consultation and involvement group on equality and fairness, between community equality groups and voluntary, public sector organisations, and positively influence policies and practice
- Help develop the overall equalities agenda in the WD area, recognising that equality and fairness is a mainstream issue
- Act as a shared ‘critical friend’ to all parties
