To receive a report by the Policy, Performance and Transformation Manager on progress with the Council’s equality objectives.

Approve the equality objectives and actions that are more relevant and Huntingdonshire focused as attached as Appendix 1 of the submitted report.

The Cabinet received a report on progress with the Council’s equality objectives by the Policy, Performance and Transformation Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) which was presented by the Corporate Team Manager.

The Single Equality Scheme (SES) 2010-2013 and annual Human Resources Employee Equality Monitoring Report demonstrated how the Council achieved its statutory responsibilities, in particular how the Council accounted for the Public Sector Equality Duties (PSED) as set out in the Equality Act 2010; and achievement against the Equality Framework for Local Government (EFLG).

The Cabinet suggested that the Council’s report template incorporate reference to PSED to ensure consideration was given to equality issues as part of the decision making process.

Having considered the comments of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel (Economic Well-Being) the Cabinet,

RESOLVED

to approve the equality objectives and actions that are more relevant and Huntingdonshire focused as attached as Appendix 1 of the submitted report.
