Members will receive updated employment and equality statistics for 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15.

Members were provided with the employment and equality statistics for 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 along with the Equality Policy which was currently out for consultation. Members congratulated officers on the quality and content of the report. It was noted that some of the targets were out of the control of the authority, for example numbers of employees with a disability. It was further noted that it was possible there were employees who had not declared a disability, and, in response to a member’s question, the Commission was reassured that the council had no liability where disabilities had not been disclosed.
