Report of the Director of Human Resources.

The Committee received a Report of the Director of Human Resources concerning the Stonewall Diversity Champions Programme and Workplace Equality Index (WEI) 2021 submission.

The Committee expressed its wholehearted support for the Corporation remaining part of the Diversity Champions Programme. Despite noting recent negative headlines in the media, it was stressed by several Members that to withdraw now would send a very damaging signal to LBGT+ staff.

RESOLVED – that the Committee noted the Report and endorsed the Corporation remaining a member organisation of the programme.
