DECISION:

 

That the Cabinet approves the publication of the annual review of the Corporate Equalities Scheme and Equalities in Employment monitoring report

 

Considerations/reasons for decision:

 

(1)       Report number CHSC0024 by the Cabinet Champion for Equalities.

(2)       Comments made by the Corporate Head for Sustainable Communities at the meeting regarding the Council’s legal requirements to report and the changes made by the Council to meet commitments made by the Council under the Corporate Equalities Scheme 2009-12.

(3)       Comments made by Cabinet Members noting that this was not an exercise in “ticking boxes” but were changes that ran throughout the Council.

 

Other options considered:

 

The Council was required under previous legislation to produce an annual review of its Corporate Equality Scheme. Following the promulgation of the Equalities Act 2010, this will be reviewed in new regulations expected by the autumn of this year. Similarly monitoring of equalities in employment is a requirement under the current legislation.
