Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Working Group
In autumn 2022, a joint Equalities Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Working Group was established comprising members of the Personnel Committee and the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.
The Working Group is informal and support by officers from the Performance and Insight Team. Its role is to help shape and oversee the work the Council is doing to deliver on its equality, diversity and inclusion commitments which are set out in the Council’s Equalities Framework ‘Including Everyone’. The Working Group reviewed the three Action Plans, Inclusive Communities, Inclusive Services and Inclusive Workforce, and provided feedback to Executive (via the Personnel and Overview and Scrutiny Committees) when it considered and adopted the Plans in April 2023.
Once appointed, the Working Group will review its Terms of Reference to focus on monitoring progress against the Action Plans.
The Personnel Committee is requested to nominate three Personnel Committee members to join the EDI Working Group. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee (OSC) will nominate three OSC members to the EDI Working Group at its 27 June meeting.
