“On
23 March, the Cabinet recommended the adoption of the
Equality and Diversity Policy and Strategy and, in response
to my representations to that Cabinet meeting, I was advised
by the Chief Executive that Council disciplinary procedures
for breaches and contraventions of said document were
too voluminous to incorporate into it but were available
elsewhere.
Could
the Leader now advise me how the several breaches and
contraventions of said document by Cllr Cranfield-Adams
as itemised in the Questions 1 and 2 will be dealt with
and refer me to the disciplinary procedures involved,
the breaches and contraventions being of the following
sections:
Our Commitments:
We
will promote...fair treatment for all our communities.
We
will work with specific groups of people who are hard
to reach...
We
will particularly work with those groups who experience
marginalisation, disadvantage and discrimination...
We
will ensure that all Members...are clear about their roles
and responsibilities under equalities legislation and
Council policy...
Roles and Responsibilities for Implementation,

equalities legislation and aim to promote good community
relations in all their work, particularly in their community
leadership role.
Key Strategic Objectives:
