5. Summary of findings and Equality Analysis Action Plan
If the analysis is done at the right time, i.e. early before decisions are made, changes should be built in before the policy or change is signed off. This will remove the need for remedial actions. Where this is achieved, the only action required will be to monitor the impact of the policy/service/change on communities or groups according to their protected characteristic - See page 11 of the Equality Screening and Analysis guidance.
Title of analysis
Council Plan and Year Ahead Delivery Plan Progress Update.
Directorate and service area
Assistant Chief Executive, Policy, Performance and Intelligence
Lead Manager
Simon Dennis
Summary of findings
The Year Ahead Delivery Plan addresses inequalities in several of its key themes, including the overarching theme ‘One Council’ and guiding principles, with the aim to reduce inequalities and for the council’s services to deliver for all residents. Equality and access data will need to be monitored closely, especially in the ‘People are safe, healthy and well’ and ‘Everyone has economic opportunities’ themes, as these are areas of considerable existing inequalities, which will make it more difficult for some individuals and groups to access opportunities and services.
