The Measuring Up? series of reports highlighted that only 1 in 3 published robust equality outcomes that were clear and measurable. The Commission took the view that poor quality outcomes would make it difficult for Public Bodies to report effectively on their progress in April 2015 and would be unlikely to achieve positive change for people with protected characteristics. In response to those findings the Improving Equality Outcomes project aims were to:
- Support public authorities to evaluate their methods for setting equality outcomes and the quality of the outcomes themselves
- Identify areas where public authorities need to improve
- Support public authorities to create their own improvement plan.
