(The Committee will consider any reports marked to be noted/for information and determine whether future scrutiny is considered necessary:  maximum of 5 minutes allocated).

1.   Equalities Act 2010

The Committee received two information reports relating to the Equalities Act, 2010, and the Slough Learning Disability Change Programme,  ‘Nothing About Me Without Me’.

A Member questioned how many staff who had a learning disability were employed by Slough Borough Council. Tracy Luck, Head of Policy and Communications, advised in response that to her knowledge this would be recorded as ‘disability’ only and it was up to the staff member whether it was disclosed. It was agreed that a response would be forwarded to the Committee.

In relation tothe Slough Learning Disability Change Programme, a Member asked for further information on how the Council was performing in this area and suggested that a report be considered at a future meeting. It was agreed that the Learning Disability Change Programme would be placed on work programme (un-programmed section) for consideration as a future item by the Chair.

Resolved-  That the reports be noted.
