Issue - meetings

To provide members with an annual review of activity and outcomes in respect of the Council’s equality and diversity work.

Members noted the report and received an update of activity and outcomes in respect of the Council’s equality and diversity work. As the Community Celebration Group was to be disbanded, Councillors expressed their gratitude and discussed ways to thank the group members. It was discussed how events could be organised in the future.

Employment ratios and pay equality were considered to be good as was the retention rate for disabled staff. Mental Health issues needed be incorporated more going forward, however and be embedded in all policies.
