Minutes:

The Cabinet considered a report on the outcome of the recent Diversity Peer Challenge which had been requested to verify the Council’s assessment that it had reached Level 3 of the Equality Standard for Local Government. It was reported that the Peer Challenge Team had confirmed that Level 3 had been achieved and that this had automatically migrated to Level 2 Achieving, of the new Equality Framework for Local Government which had replaced the Equality Standard. The Cabinet recognised the work which had been undertaken to achieve this result.

 

The Cabinet noted that the Diversity Peer Challenge report had contained recommendations relating to a number of areas for improvement and that an action plan had been developed in order to address the issues identified.

 

RESOLVED  that the report be noted and that the action plan to address the recommendations contained in the Diversity Peer Challenge report be approved.
