Report of the Town Clerk.

Members considered a report of the Town Clerk regarding the City of London Police Authority Board’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy Statement.

The Force had adopted its Equalities and Inclusion Strategy in January and hoped to present a considered action plan to the May Professional Standards & Integrity Committee and Board meetings.

The Board was supportive of proposals for Member training.

It was agreed that any interview panels involved in recruiting for the Commissioner, external Members or otherwise should demonstrate diversity.

RESOLVED, that Members

• agree the policy statement set out in Appendix 1 of the report; and

• agree that the implementation of the policy statement and related Tackling Racism Taskforce recommendations (see Appendix 2) be monitored quarterly by the Police Authority’s Professional Standards & Integrity Committee.
