Issue - meetings

The Cabinet considered a report of the Chief Executive presenting the outcome of consultation on the Council’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2024-2028.  The final Strategy would be submitted to full Council.  A copy of the report, marked ‘Agenda Item 9’, is filed with these minutes.

Mrs. Richardson CC expressed pride for the work undertaken by the Council in this area, but stated that it was important not to become complacent.

RESOLVED:

a)         That the outcome of consultation on the Council’s draft Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2024-2028 be noted;

b)         That the County Council, at its meeting on 25 September 2024, be recommended to approve the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2024-2028 and associated Action Plan.

(KEY DECISION)

REASONS FOR DECISION

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy provides a policy context for the Council’s activity around equality, diversity and inclusion and sets out how it will meet its legislative duty.

The Strategy forms part of the Council’s Policy Framework and therefore requires approval by the full Council.
