That it has engaged in an equality action planning process for employment, pay and service delivery That it is developing a system of selfassessment, scrutiny and audit. All of the equality assessments have given rise to detailed action plans for every service area. In addition, the Council annually commission an external specialist to devise a workforce monitoring report. This report provides recommendations and action for employment and pay. These recommendations form the basis of the workforce strategy The Corporate Equalities and Diversity Group receive monitoring reports from service area equality groups on how the services are performing against their equality action plans. There is also detailed monitoring of comments and complaints through the Contact Centre. CORPORATE CONSULTATIONS CARRIED OUT Corporate Finance Comments 4. There are no financial implications relating to this report Legal Implications 5. As is stated in the body of the report, the Equality Standard is a self-auditing tool to ensure that the Council is delivering excellence in service provision, employment and community engagement to all Hillingdon residents. 6. There is a variety of legislation which underpins the Council's equalities and diversity agenda. Cabinet will recall that at its October meeting, it considered a report on the Council's Corporate Equalities and Diversity Plan which set out a summary of this legislation. 7. Achievement of the various levels of the Equality Standard will not only help the Council to demonstrate that it is securing fair and equal treatment in its services, employment practices and community engagement but it will also assist the Council in meeting its various statutory obligations and therefore minimise the risk of successful legal challenges being brought against it BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS Nil PART 1 – MEMBERS, PUBLIC AND PRESS Cabinet report – 10 th November 2005 Page 142
APPENDIX A Equality Standard for Local Government – an Update 1. Briefing on the Equality Standard for Local Government The Equality Standard recognises the importance of fair and equal treatment in local government services and employment and has been developed as a tool to enable authorities to mainstream gender, race and disability into council policy and practice at all levels. The equality standard broadens the remit of the “Racial Equality means Quality” and was introduced in 2002. Hillingdon Council stated their commitment to the standard in March 03, and achieved level 1 by June 04. The standard is a recognised framework of self-assessment and audit procedures for equality across the Council and is supported by the Commission for Race Equality, Equal Opportunities Commission, Disability Rights Commission, the Employers Organisation, DIALOG, and the Local Government Association. Although the standard is a self-auditing tool, this can be subject to external audits and the requirement to present evidence when requested by the Audit Commission as well as any of the supporting bodies listed above. The Equality Standard The Equality Standard is a framework that sets up a way of working within local authorities which will make mainstreaming equalities into service delivery and employment an issue for all aspects of the council’s work. Using five levels, authorities will introduce a comprehensive and systematic approach to dealing with equalities. These levels cover all aspects of policy-making, service delivery and employment. The Standard will: • Provide a systematic framework for the mainstreaming of equalities • Help local authorities to meet their obligations under the law • Integrate equalities policies and objectives with Best Value • Encourage the development of anti-discrimination practice appropriate to local circumstances. • Provide a basis for tackling forms of institutionalised discrimination. • Provide a framework for improving performance, over time.
