That the Social Partnership Duty Annual Report be approved and submitted to the Social Partnership Council.

Members received the Social Partnership Duty Annual Report, which had been prepared in line with the Social Partnership Duty as set out in the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023.

It was explained that Local Authorities were required to seek consensus or compromise with their recognised Trade Unions when setting their well-being objectives, and making decisions of a strategic nature about the reasonable steps they intend to take to deliver those objectives. Members were informed that the circulated report set out how Neath Port Talbot Council sought to do that with the recognised Trade Unions. It was added that those recognised Trade Unions had endorsed the content of the circulated report.

RESOLVED:

The Social Partnership Duty Annual Report was approved and submitted to the Social Partnership Council.
