Inclusive Kingston: Draft Commitments

We are committed to deeply understanding the needs and experiences of our communities and working together to make change.

We will do this by:

• Collaborating to collect, analyse, share and use data across the council and with partners
• Being led by our community and partners to understand unmet needs and to meaningfully engage and communicate
• Implement change using insights from complaints, compliments and member enquiries

We are committed to tailoring our approaches to meet the needs and address gaps for all our communities

We will do this by:

• Thinking creatively and utilising new tools to overcome challenges that enable access to services when they are needed 
• Evidencing how our services and policies identify need and reduce inequality 
• Working closely with our partners to share insights, meet community needs and build resilience
• Focusing on tackling poverty and socio-economic inequality in the borough

We are committed to being a proudly diverse borough which is accessible and safe

We will do this by:

• Focusing on community cohesion alongside our partners to bring communities together, tackling discrimination, harassment and hate crime 
• Ensuring accessibility and community needs are key priorities when designing and delivering our physical and digital infrastructure
• Coming together to celebrate communities, heritage and achievements
