DECISION: To adopt the revised Generic Equality Scheme.

 

The Corporate Manager of Human Resources & Organisational Development presented his report number HR&OD76 which included a revised Generic Equality Scheme and Action Plan. The reasons for amending the current scheme were outlined in the report. The Corporate Manager spoke about the difficulties of embedding equalities in services and policy making, especially within a mainly rural district, and it was intended the revised scheme would address this. The officers were congratulated and thanked for the considerable work undertaken on the scheme and it was proposed for adoption. This received a seconder and was carried following a vote.
