Content

Cabinet RESOLVED
 
(1)       
To approve the revised Black Community Action Plan (BCAP),
including workstreams, new governance structures and timelines.
 
(2)       
To approve, as
requested through the community consultation in November 2024,
extending the delivery period by at least 1 year to redress time
lost, providing a remaining delivery period of 8 years in total
(2025-33)
 
(3)       
To approve that the
plan concentrates on delivering the top 5 themes over a 4-year
period (2025-29).
 
(4)       
Whilst recognising as an outcome of the community
consultation, that “accountability” ranked lower in
terms of priority, in line with recommendations made previously
during 2024 to approve the creation of an Independent Advisory
Steering Group (IASG) with Council representation to help inform
officer-led Equity, Diversion and Inclusion work. The purpose of
the IASG would be to inform and advise on delivery, attract funding
opportunities, and provide assurance and transparency to the
community. This would also demonstrate the Council’s
commitment to co-design and co-produce activity informed by the
community, including local experts and those with lived
experience.
