Report of the Head of Communities and Governance regarding this revised policy

Arising from a *report of the Head of Communities and Governance, the Community Well-Being Policy Development Group had recommended that the revised Single Equalities Scheme and Equality Objective be approved.

The Cabinet Member for Community Well-Being outlined the contents of the report stating that the policy had been revised in line with the Equalities Act 2010 and did reflect the various strands within the Corporate Plan.

Consideration was given to:

·         The balance of the Citizens Panel used for consultation purposes

·         The work of the Devon Equalities Group

·         The possibility of making reference to the Single Equality Scheme on the front page of the corporate report template alongside legal implications and risk assessment.

RESOLVED that the recommendations of the Policy Development Group be approved.
