Issue details
Realising the Vision for a Fair and Inclusive Council
Purpose of the report: The public sector duties in the Equality Act 2010 support public bodies to improve quality of life outcomes in their areas. They came into effect in April and September 2011. The report will summarise the duties as outlined in legislation and how the government and the Equality and Human Rights Commission expect us to meet them. It will outline proposals for action to meet the duties and also minimum standards for these actions.
Cabinet will be requested to consider and approve the actions proposed in the report.
This item was slipped to the February meeting to allow more time to
develop an action plan for excellence for the Equalities Framework
for Local Government. It was then slipped to the April meeting to
coincide with setting equality outcomes for the Council and then to
the July meeting to take account of the output of stage two of the
Fairness Commission. The item has now been slipped to the November
meeting to allow further time for consultation.
