This report provides an update on the current
Equalities objectives and action plan.
A refreshed action plan has been developed in
consultation with key service areas. The action plan was last
revised in 2020 in response to the pandemic and the challenges
faced in tackling disadvantage in Maidstone. It is important that
it
continues to reflect the current challenges faced by
residents and staff so the Council can deliver on its Equalities
objectives.
A light touch revision has been made to the current
Equalities Policy. This is outlined at paragraph 2.17-2.21 in the
report and is proposed to ensure recent legislative changes are
referenced in the Policy document.
