Challenging Inequalities Toolkit
Islington Council is working to ensure culturally appropriate and inclusive adult social care accommodation, aligning with efforts to challenge inequalities.
Islington Council's Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee received an update in October 2026 on recommendations from a 2024-25 review. This update detailed progress in ensuring culturally appropriate and inclusive accommodation within adult social care, aligning with the broader aim of addressing inequalities in services.
As part of these efforts, Islington Council has expanded its adult social care provision by adding 217 new units. This expansion involves strengthened collaboration between adult social care, planning, and housing departments, supported by an established Estates and Adult Social Care Steering Group.
The Challenging Inequalities Toolkit is a tool designed to address inequalities in social care services. It initially focused on mental health and ethnicity, and has since expanded to include LGBTQI+ and disability considerations, aiming for more equitable service provision.
