Non–binary equality action plan 2023-2028: progress report 2024

The report provides detail on the progress made during 2024, our first year of this five-year plan. It outlines some of our key achievements, and describes what we said we would do, what we have done, and what our next steps are.


Understanding the report

On the following pages we have set out the progress that has been made against the actions within the Plan.

Commitments

The Plan was developed from the agreed and partially agreed recommendations in our response to the Working Group on Non-Binary Equality Report. The numbering of the commitments reflects that of the recommendations.

What we said we would do

This reiterates the actions that we committed to in the Plan.

What we have done so far

This details the progress we have made so far in 2024 towards the actions.

Next steps

This provides detail on how we plan to move forward in 2025.

Timescale

Short-term – to be delivered by the end of 2024

Medium-term – to be delivered by the end of 2026

Long-term – to be delivered by the end of 2028 or an ongoing commitment

Status

Complete – Action has been completed

In progress – Action is underway

Not started – Medium or longer-term actions which have not yet commenced

Over the course of 2024, we identified that the timescales of some actions needed to be adjusted. These adjustments were required as a result of the complexity of the action or the systems in which they were part of; further scoping was required to ensure feasibility; or capacity and resourcing issues.

If the timescale has been adjusted, we have explained the rationale for this change in next steps.

Where short-term actions have not yet been completed, we have provided an update of when we hope to achieve these by in next steps.

Finally, a number of actions have been recorded as complete, although next steps have been given to show that they remain on our agenda and will be reviewed and monitored going forward.
