There are laws in place to protect people from unfair discrimination due to their protected characteristics (e.g. age, sex, race).
To help with this, every four years Aberdeenshire Council needs to set equality outcomes, which state how the council aims to achieve improvements in people’s life opportunities. The outcomes also apply to the Aberdeenshire Licensing Boards and to the Aberdeenshire Education Authority. The equality outcomes are used to measure the council’s progress in making Aberdeenshire a fairer and more equitable place.
Your feedback to the following questions along with other engagement with community groups and forums, as well as local and national research will assist in this process of developing new outcomes for Aberdeenshire.

The survey will take no longer than ten minutes to complete and will be open until midnight on 14th of March.
