The
Equalities and Corporate Policy Officer presented the report noting
that the report was created in response to a member request, made
at the end of the last municipal year.
The
Scrutiny Review report recommendations and the record of
implementation from 2005/06 had been reviewed. Since 2005/06, the
2010 Equalities Act had been introduced and the Council had ensured
that they had robust strategies in place to adhere to this
legislation. Upon reviewing the existing key strategic documents
and current work-streams, the Officer recommended the creation of a
Task and Finish Group to oversee a review of access to
services.
RESOLVED:
That;
1. The
scope at appendix 1 and discussed at paragraph 1.3 (onwards) be
agreed; and
2. The
Head of Policy, Communications and Governance, in consultation with
the Chairman and Vice Chairman, be given delegated authority to
form a Task and Finish Group and timetable a review, reporting back
to the Committee as its next available meeting.
