To consider a report of the Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing & Equalities.

Minutes:

The Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing & Equalities submitted a report which provided the second progress update on achievements since the Equality Strategy was launched in January 2021 with four key objectives, as well as an update on the work of the Equality Review being carried out by APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence). In discussion, the Executive Member drew attention to a number of successes achieved, but also to work remaining to be done. In response to a query, it was noted that the Council had an aspiration for its workforce to reflect its community; but that incomplete information was currently unavailable on the workforce’s composition, and that the aspiration would take some time to achieve.

 

RESOLVED –

 

(1)      That the content of the report be noted.

 

(2)      That a further progress report containing updates on the success measures within the Corporate Equality Strategy be presented in January 2023.
