Decision:

As detailed in the recommendation.

Minutes:

The Chief Executive introduced a report to agree the Council’s revised equality objectives and Strategic Equality Plan (SEP) for 2020/2024 prior to statutory publication.

 

The Strategic Policy Advisor provided an overview of the key considerations and research used to develop the SEP.  Six of the seven equality objectives were consistent with those set in 2016, with the addition of a new objective on poverty which reflected the new socio-economic duty placed on public bodies.  Actions in the SEP would be reviewed annually and incorporated within the CAMMS system to provide more robust reporting.

 

Councillor Banks welcomed the move to review the Plan on an annual basis which provided more flexibility.

 

The recommendation was moved and seconded by Councillors Roberts and Thomas.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Council’s equality objectives and Strategic Equality Plan (SEP) 2020/2024 be endorsed.
