Consultation questions
 
We’d welcome your views about our equality objectives and would be grateful if you could take the time to answer the following questions:
3.Do you agree with our approach to incorporate our anti-discriminatory work in our corporate plan, but highlight the five areas we will be focusing on in our strategic equality plan?
4.Do you think our five equality objectives are achievable for the next five years? Or should we be bolder or less ambitious?
5.Do you have any comments about any of our objectives?
6.Do you have any suggestions about how we should measure our impact in the five areas we will be focusing on?
7.Will our equality objectives have any positive or negative impacts on groups with protected characteristics ?
8.Do you think we should have any other equality objectives (either instead of or in addition to the ones mentioned)? If so, what should they be?
9.What effects will our proposals have on the Welsh language, specifically on:

  1. opportunities for people to use Welsh
  2. treating the Welsh language no less favourably than the English language.

How could we increase the positive effects or reduce the negative ones?
How we will use your views

Any response you send us will be seen in full by our staff dealing with the issues this consultation covers. It may also be seen by other members of staff to help us plan future consultations.

We will be publishing a summary of the responses to this document. We may also publish the responses in full. Normally, the name and address of the person or organisation who sent the response are published with the response. This helps show that the consultation was carried out properly. If you do not want your name or address published, let us know in writing when you send your response. We will then blank them out.

Names or addresses we blank out might still get published later, but we do not think this would happen very often. The Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 allow the public to ask to see information held by many public bodies, including Social Care Wales. This includes information that has not been published.

But the law also allows us to withhold information in some circumstances. If anyone asks to see information we have withheld, we will have to decide whether to release it. If someone has asked for their name and address not to be published, that is an important fact we would take into account. There may sometimes be important reasons why we would have to reveal someone’s name and address, even though they have asked for them not to be published. We would get in touch with the person and ask their views before we decided to reveal the information.
