Additional Information: This is a key item and will automatically appear on the agenda for discussion / debate.

Background Information: This report is being presented to seek approval of new equalities objectives applicable from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 in order to meet our statutory requirement to produce one or more equality objectives at least every 4 years. The report also meets the council’s legal obligations to publish information on general Public Sector Duty compliance with regard to people affected by the council’s policies and practices every year. It does so by reporting back on progress relating to activity of services across the four years of the Single Equality Scheme. The Comprehensive Equalities and Diversity Policy has been updated in line with transformation that has taken place at the council, which needs approval. Finally, the report also feeds back on the conversation on the Disabled People’s Manifesto held at the Equalities Panel in July 2024, as was committed to at Full Council on 23 May 2024.
