The Lead Member took the opportunity to thank Beryl Cooper, the former Project Officer in the EDHR unit, for all her hard work over the years, and wished her well in her new role. The Member also expressed her gratitude to the outgoing Assistant Commissioner Frank Armstrong for his contribution in the past year since taking over the EDHR portfolio.

The EDHR Manager commented that good progress was currently being made, with the imminent introduction of equality impact assessments a key step. The Chairman commented that, given the importance of the area, it might be useful to have report to a forthcoming meeting updating the Committee on progress made to date and setting out key developments, which the Commissioner undertook to provide.
