Take online survey to help set equality policies for council
Residents of South Derbyshire are being asked for their views on equality policies in the area.
The district council has put a survey on its website.
It asks people if they agree that the authority is providing services accessible to all, if it should concentrate on helping unemployed younger people and if it should work to help vulnerable people to live independently at home for longer.
Councillor Julie Patten said the idea behind the survey was to ensure the authority's policies and services are appropriate to meet different people's needs.
She said: "The focus is on transparency, so we are asking people and organisation representatives to take part in the survey so we can decide the areas we should concentrate on in setting our equality objectives."
The survey is available by clicking on Council and Democracy then the Equality and Diversity links at www.south-derbys.gov.uk.
