<TRAILER_SECTION>

The Executive received the report which sought approval of the revised Equality and Diversity Policy, which had been reviewed and updated to ensure it reflected current good practice. Members were advised on the amendments made to the policy which were outlined in section 8 the report, with particular reference made to the inclusion of the process in dealing with complaints of discrimination.

Councillor Moore, as an opposition group leader, welcomed the updates and enquired how Councillors would be updated on the progress of work?

Executive Members welcomed the report and made the following points:-

·         there was a typo in the policy in relation to paragraphs 4.8 and 4.9, which should have been paragraphs 4.7 and 4.8; and

·         the inclusion of the anti-racism statement was commended.

RECOMMENDED that Council approve the adoption of the revised Equality and Diversity Policy.
