The aim of the CCQM is to improve equality, reduce discrimination, and enable equitable access to opportunities for every citizen. The CCQM supports organisations and individuals to reflect on their services and improve the knowledge, understanding and practices that support work, wellbeing, enjoyment and quality of life for adults and children.
The Council’s vision for Leeds is to be the best council in the best city, to reduce inequalities, understand and address causes of unfairness, and ensure equity of outcomes for all. The task of creating a culturally cohesive society in which all individuals and communities live side by side harmoniously, feeling respected, safe, valued, and having equal opportunities for personal success and fulfilment, is complex. The CCQM provides a framework to increase and embed culturally positive attitudes and behaviour into practices and structures, and reduce segregation and inequality across communities in Leeds and beyond.
