Improving outcomes and tackling inequalities within our communities

By delivering this priority we will create a city where our residents get the best possible start in life, experience good health, and age well, in a city that embraces diversity, protects the most vulnerable, and values its residents and communities.

We have amended the One Coventry Plan following your feedback on this priority by:

Being clearer in our commitment to tackling violence and abuse in all forms
Strengthened our intent to narrow and close the gap in education performance measures for vulnerable groups at each phase.
