Inequalities in terms of income, education, quality of work and a range of other social and economic outcomes including physical and mental health all have lifelong impacts. Socioeconomic position and educational outcomes have a direct impact on health and other outcomes in later life.

The following proposed priorities have been identified as a focus to improve these inequalities:

a) Reducing the educational attainment gap so that there is less disparity in outcomes between different groups of students

b) Enhancing career guidance and pathways into local employment

c) Increasing volunteering opportunities

d) Increasing neurodivergent identification and support, including ADHD, Autism and Dyspraxia

e) Extending skills and training programmes, including supported internships

f) Increasing learning disability care and support

g) Enhancing all age mental health diagnosis, treatment and care

h) Reducing domestic abuse
