Decisions:

1.           That the document be commended to Council for approval, prior to publication as an addendum to the Strategic Equality Plan 2020, published in September 2020.

2.           That the Cabinet Member for Corporate Services and Equalities be given delegated authority to make such changes as may be needed to the actions, prior to publication, provided that such changes do not materially alter the content of the document to be considered by Council.

Reason for Decisions:

To meet the statutory requirements set out in the Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011. 

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three day call in period.

Consultation:

This item has not been subject to external consultation, although a period of public consultation was undertaken as part of the development of the Strategic Equality Plan between the 16 January and 20 February 2020.  In addition, local equality groups, as represented on the Council’s Equality and Community Cohesion Group have been involved in the development of these actions.
