Key pointers - Equality Act
• Local authorities need to have due regard to the need
to eliminate discrimination, harassment and
victimisation; and (positively) advance equality of
opportunity.
• Section 149 stipulates that public bodies should
eliminate discrimination in the way they carry out their
work and take positive action to advance equality
• In terms of disabled people this certainly would
certainly extend to include improvements to the
accessibility of the public realm.

Funding and Resourcing
Brainstorm
• Which funding sources will be best for you
locally?
• How could your SUMP be delivered through
‘help in kind’ for:

– The implementation stage
Where are the barriers to delivery and what do
you need to do to ‘convince’ key stakeholders?
