Minutes:

Councillor Asma Begum, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Community Safety, Youth and Equalities. She welcomed the report as a comprehensive document setting out the administrations clear priorities in this area. Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter protests had shown why this was so important. The plan set out how inequalities across the different protected characteristics would be tackled.

 

She explained that the three priority areas were in relation to connecting people, involving and empowering the community and on bridging equality gaps. She also noted recent progress which would be built on such as the increase in volunteering during the pandemic. Finally she reported that the work of partner organisations was vital to the success of the plan.

 

The Mayor commended the report as an important foundation to the work of the Council. He welcomed the commitment to ensuring documentation was presented to the public in ‘plain English’ and he agreed the recommendations as set out.
