RESOLVED that the Strategic Equality Plan Annual Report for 2022-23 be approved.
The Cabinet Members considered the Strategy Equality Plan Annual Report for 2022-23. The Equality Act 2010 brings together and replaces previous legislation and simplifies and strengthens the law, making it easier for people to understand and comply with. Annual reporting is one of the prime opportunities for review, monitoring and reflection and for an Authority to capture its ongoing activity around meeting the general and specific duties. This includes any reflection on whether its arrangements and actions are effective and remain appropriate. The main purpose of this Annual Report is to fulfil the Council’s legal duties and obligations to report on its progress in delivering the General and Specific Equality Duties. The Public Sector Equality Duty requires that all public authorities covered under the specific duties in Wales should produce an annual report - this report covers the period 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023. As part of the report, progress is shown against our Strategic Equality Objectives, which are: 1. Being a leading employer. 2. The needs and rights of people with Protected Characteristics shape the design of services. 3. Safe and Cohesive communities that are resilient, fair, and equal. 4. Improving access to our services and access to our environment. Annual reports will assist authorities in monitoring their own work, as well as providing transparency for stakeholders. Annual reports must include the specified employment information, including information on training and pay and they must include the specified employment information, including information on training and pay. RESOLVED that the Strategic Equality Plan Annual Report for 2022-23 be approved.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
