The Equality Framework for Local Government

The Equality Framework for Local Government (EFLG) is a performance improvement and benchmarking tool. It builds on and develops the work councils have done on the Equality Standard for Local Government (ESLG). The EFLG contains many new features, is simpler to use and more relevant to the way local authorities work today.

Using the framework

We've split the framework into the sections below. Alternatively, you can download the framework as a single PDF document:

Local Government Chronicle publication about the EFLG

The 'Local Government Chronicle' (LGC) produced a publication for the EFLG's launch featuring information and articles about the publication.
