Participation, accessibility and accountability

Ensuring robust governance, transparency, and equitable access to council services.

Equitable and inclusive access to services is one of our central commitments to our residents. Achieving this means maintaining and improving our culture of openness and engagement while championing and promoting diversity.

Where we are now: South Oxfordshire is committed to transparency, robust governance, and the delivery of accessible services. Through inclusive community engagement, the council seeks to ensure that the diversity of our district and voices of local people are reflected in decision-making processes.

Where we want to be: South Oxfordshire will proactively ensure that all residents have equitable and inclusive access to services and opportunities. We will celebrate diversity and uphold the highest standards of governance and transparency. The council will actively engage with and empower local communities, recognising that they know their area best.
