Minutes:
The Executive considered a report from the Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources that set out the draft Equality and Diversity Strategy. The Strategy had been refreshed in line with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 to enable the Council to continue to adopt a robust approach to equality issues across all of its activities.
In response to a question, the Director of Improvement and Corporate Services advised Members that protection for whistle blowers was covered by the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and was not part of the remit for the Equality and Diversity Strategy.
Reason for decision: To ensure that the Council complies with its statutory obligations.
RECOMMENDED to Council
that the Draft Equality and Diversity Strategy for Central Bedfordshire be adopted.
