This report presents the draft Equality and Diversity Policy for 2021-2025 for consideration by Cabinet. The existing Policy covered the period 2016-2020 and therefore a refresh was required. The duties with regard to equality and diversity have not changed and therefore the proposed changes to the Policy are minor. The aim of the Equality and Diversity Policy remains the same; to ensure everyone has the right to be treated fairly at work or when using the council’s services.
The report will also address the points raised as Opposition business at Full Council on 21 October 2021, and consider how the council progresses its commitment to tackling discrimination and building community cohesion.
