To consider and comment on the Workforce Profile.

The Committee gave consideration to a report by the Strategic HR Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book), which contained the annual summary of the profile of the workforce according to their protected characteristics as required by the Equality Act 2010. It covered the period to 31^st March 2025.

The report showed that non-declaring of disability was 78 for the year and 61 for ethnicity, both of which represented a decrease from previous years. The Council would take steps to achieve a higher declaration rate in the coming year, such as sending reminder emails to individual employees who had not completed them and offering assistance. Having noted the link between this data and the Workforce Strategy Action Plan, it was

RESOLVED

that the contents of the report be noted.
