Single Equality Scheme
Decision Maker: Cabinet (pre 2012)
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
(1) That Cabinet approves the Single Equality Scheme 2010-2011.
(2) That updates be reported every six months.
Reasons for the decision:
To address the legal requirements as described above, provide an action plan to support the Equalities & Inclusion Policy and a mechanism for reporting on progress.
Alternative options considered:
The alternative option would be the development of 3 Equality Schemes to address issues of Race, Gender and Disability. The advantage of this is the clear focus on the issues for these groups. The advantages for a Single Equality Scheme are described in paragraph 3.4 and we have found in practice that many of the issues identified can be addressed by generic actions.
