Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Report - CHI/17/054
Minutes:
The Council had before it a report by the Interim Director of Communities, Housing and Infrastructure which provided an update on progress achieved at the end of year 2 of the Council’s Equality Outcomes for 2015-2017 and set out new draft Equality Outcomes for 2017-21.
The report recommended:-
that the Council -
(a) approve the draft Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Progress Report for 2017-21, recognising that work would continue to make the draft document ready for publication on 30 April 2017;
(b) note the progress since publication of the Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming report of 2015;
(c) agree new and revised draft Equality Outcomes for 2017-21 proposed within the draft Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Progress Report (pages 14 to 17) and note that these were also summarised in Appendix 1 of the Equality Outcomes and Mainstreaming Progress Report;
(d) approve Aberdeen City Council’s Human Resources Employee Information for publication (Appendix 4);
(e) approve the contributions from Education and Children’s Services (Appendix 5);
(f) note that a business case would follow to realign service budgets so that the essential work required to mainstream equality was resourced at no additional cost for the Council.
The Council resolved:-
(i) to approve the recommendations; and
(ii) to instruct officers to provide all members with further information in connection with (1) the difference in the proportion of employees who identified themselves as having a disability (2.9%) (page 753), compared to the proportion of employees who were subject to the disciplinary process who identified themselves as having a disability (9.5%) (page 788); (2) the accuracy of the figures on page 812 with regard to applicants for employment with a disability in 2016 having been 12,160 with only 2.7% successful; and (3) the accuracy of the figures on page 764 with regard to the number of white-Polish applicants for employment increasing from 677 in 2015 to 1,252 in 2016.
