Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)
Ealing Council is enhancing workforce EDI, while Tower Hamlets and Wandsworth focus on borough-wide equality initiatives.
Ealing Council is currently implementing a comprehensive workforce strategy to enhance Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), developing new skills and improving recruitment and retention. This includes the People Manager Fundamentals programme, which has seen 402 managers participate, and the Rise Up programme for aspiring managers, which completed its first cohort in October 2026. Separately, Tower Hamlets Council's Cabinet reviewed its Annual Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Report for 2024-2025 in March 2026.
The Tower Hamlets report highlighted achievements such as the 'No Place For Hate' campaign, which engaged approximately 27,900 individuals, and the establishment of community equality networks. In July 2025, Wandsworth Council approved new equality objectives for 2025-2029, aiming to tackle inequality, promote well-being, and foster EDI within the council and across the borough. These objectives build on work from 2024 to narrow inequalities.
