Agenda item

Joint report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain which set out progress to achieve the target of implementing the London Living Wage across all eligible contracts by 1 April 2016 and the current overall position with regards the Living Wage across our contract portfolio.  The report confirmed that the Corporation had now fully implemented London Living Wage across all services with the exception of a 12 residential care home services contracts (due to legal and operational complexities in transitioning to London Living Wage) and one grazing contract (due to wider performance issues in the contract).

The Chamberlain confirmed that the report referred to the London Living Wage, which was in excess of the Living Wage announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the March 2016 Budget.

RESOLVED – That the Committee notes the report.
