Description

This project is being commissioned by London Councils. London Councils is committed to fighting for more resources for London and getting the best possible deal for London's 33 councils. We lobby for local governance for London boroughs, promoting their leadership of local communities and services and arguing for the tools necessary for them to do that job. We also act as a catalyst for effective sharing of practice, knowledge, information and services between boroughs.
This project will provide a foundation for prioritising future influencing on critical areas of Government policy in terms of equalities at an important time for London local government. The work will initially offer a broad context to equalities issues related to housing, employment and skills, taking a cross-cutting approach to these policy areas and considering their cumulative impact on the equality of Londoners. This rapid review will then be used to prioritise key areas for more detailed research that will focus on areas where London Councils can work with partners at a local, regional and national level to affect positive change for Londoners.
