Decision details

The Tackling Inequalities Action plan will establish actions across key themes where both Kirklees Council and Partner Organisations can address the known issues relating to inequalities bought to light by COVID-19 and the re-energised Black Lives Matter movement following the death of George Floyd. The action plan builds on the 2018/19 Inclusion & Diversity Strategy and the shorter-term community led response to inequalities specific to COVID-19, along with parallel strategies such as the tackling poverty plan, economic recovery plan, and inclusive economy work specific to individual aspects of the inequalities agenda.

Note: This item shall be submitted to the meeting of Council on 21 October 2020.

Cabinet approves the three priority actions and recommends that Council notes the report and endorses the establishment of the Inequalities Commission
