Councillors discussed the importance of ensuring that the policies are inclusive and supportive of a diverse workforce. One councillor emphasised, It's crucial that our HR policies not only comply with legal standards but also promote a positive and inclusive workplace culture.

The changes include the introduction of new support packages tailored to individual needs and the implementation of a more robust assessment process. The committee highlighted the importance of these changes in enhancing the quality of life for residents who rely on the service. One member noted, These improvements are essential for ensuring that our residents receive the best possible support to live independently.
