Equalities Issues: The council has considered equalities, diversity and inclusion in formulating this recommendation, including compliance with relevant legislation. This includes protected characteristics under the 2010 Equalities Act and subsequent amendments. Potential projects were required to submit an Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) statement, as well as a plan for the recruitment and retention of participants (with a specific focus on enabling participants in rural communities to access skills provision and enabling those who face barriers to access to participate). This plan and statement was considered as part of the assessment process for funding. Upon review of these documents, it is anticipated that this intervention is likely to have a positive impact on improving access to skills and training for those who have protected characteristics, as defined by the 2010 Equalities Act.
Human Rights Issues: None Arising
