Received a report presenting a review of the Council’s Race Equality Scheme (RES) for 2002/05 and the race equality priorities in the Council’s Corporate Equalities and Diversity Plan for 2005/08.

Agreed, in order to ensure compliance with current and future equality statutory duties on disability, gender, faith and sexuality, to:

(i)  Endorse the review of the Council’s RES for 2002/05 and priorities for 2005/08; and

(ii)  The Corporate Equalities, Diversity and Cohesion Board commissioning a review of compliance with current and forthcoming statutory specific duties.
