Equality Impact Assessments and Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual and Trans (L.G.B.T) Issues (Overview Select Committee)

Councillor Chaplin, the Chair of the Task Group stated that the report set out recommendations for the Executive and Scrutiny Commissions and she hoped that these would be read and taken forward in the new municipal year. The recommendations were about the services that the council delivered as well as Equality Impact Assessments.

The work with the Task Group was achieved with the cooperation of the L.G.B.T.Centre and if the recommendations were taken forward, the council had the opportunity to be one of the first authorities in the country to separate out those groups and acknowledge them to be separate communities.

RESOLVED:

                        that the report be noted.
