1.0 Introduction

 

1.1 This Gender Equality and Diversity Scheme sets out what the Licensing Board will do in furtherance of its statutory duties and also to contribute to Dundee City Council achieving its vision relating to gender equality and diversity in Dundee. It reviews the achievement of equality and diversity objectives from the Council's Generic Equality and Diversity Scheme, which can be viewed in full on the Dundee City Council website www.dundeecity.gov.uk/equanddiv/genequdivscheme.pdf.

 

 

2.0 Background

 

2.1 Since its inception in 1996, Dundee City Council has demonstrated consistent commitment to the principles and practice of gender equality and diversity.

 

2.2 Equal opportunities policies have been reviewed in line with our commitment to social inclusion and legislative responsibilities, culminating in the production of a Gender Equality Scheme 2002-2005.

 

2.3 This scheme will review progress since the last scheme and identify priorities for action for 2007-2010.

 

 

3.0 Gender Equality and Diversity Statement and Objectives

 

Dundee City Licensing Board and Dundee City Council believe that we can only achieve our vision of a socially inclusive Dundee by recognising that equality of opportunity and freedom from discrimination across all equality groups is a fundamental right.

 

We also believe that diversity in our population and workforce should be celebrated and regarded as a strength.

 

We know that the needs of men and women are different. They do different things in their daily lives, have different responsibilities and jobs and do not have access to the same resources such as money and transport. We also understand that the way we plan our services and the systems we use as an employer can discriminate against them unless those differences are taken into account. We also recognise that the needs and experiences of transsexual people need to be taken into account as an employer and when we plan our services.

 

Dundee City Licensing Board and Dundee City Council are committed to leading the agenda and adopting a mainstreaming approach in promoting gender equality, freedom from discrimination on grounds of gender, developing positive relationships between and across communities and the celebration of gender diversity as a/an:

 

7                employer

7                service provider

7                partner

7                community leader

 

Gender Equality and Diversity Objectives

5.0 Gender Legislation -

 

5.1 The Equality Act 2006

 

This created the Gender Equality Duty (GED) which amended the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. The GED sets out new general and specific duties for all public authorities.

 

5.2 What is the general duty of the GED:

The GED places the general duty on Dundee City Licensing Board from April 2007 to have due regard to the need to:

 

7                eliminate unlawful discrimination and harassment; and

7                promote equality of opportunity between men and women.

 

5.3 What do we mean by unlawful discrimination and harassment:

 

7                direct and indirect discrimination against women and men, in employment and education, in goods, facilities and services and in the exercise of public functions;

7                harassment, sexual harassment and discrimination on the grounds of pregnancy and maternity leave;

7                discrimination on the grounds of gender reassignment in employment and vocational training;

7                direct and indirect discrimination in the employment field on the grounds that a person is married or a civil partner;

7                victimisation as a result of raising or intending to raise a complaint or acting as a witness or give evidence in support of someone raising a complaint.

 

5.4 What are the specific duties of the GED?

 

We must set out how we will meet the general duty and:

 

7                Gather information on how our work affects women and men, boys and girls;

7                Consult employees, service users, trade unions and other stakeholders;

7                Assess the different impact of policies and practices on both sexes and use this information to inform our work;

7                Identify priorities and set gender equality objectives;

7                Plan and take action to achieve those objectives;

7                Publish a gender equality scheme, report annually and review progress every three years. This must be published by the 29 June 2007.

 

5.5 What is a gender equality scheme?

 

A gender equality scheme must set out:

 

7                our gender equality objectives, and what evidence has been used to develop these objectives;

7                how we have consulted service users in setting objectives;

7                how we will assess the impact of the organisation's policies and practices on gender equality;

7                what action we will take to meet these objectives over the next three years.

 

6.0 Mainstreaming approach to equality and diversity and Equality Impact Assessment

 

The Council Generic Equality and Diversity Scheme outlines the processes involved in mainstreaming and how it intends to achieve them.

 

6.1               Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA)

 

Since the publication of its last Gender Equality Scheme, the Council has developed an EQIA toolkit and trained over one hundred officers in its use. In addition, all of its policies have been screened for adverse impact on gender. This can be viewed on www.dundeecity.gov.uk.

 

6.2               This screening process has contributed to the aims of mainstreaming as it:

 

7                Is a long term strategy that aims to make sure that policy making is fully sensitive to needs and experience of men, women, girls and boys in Dundee;

7                Tackles structures that contribute to sustain inequality and discrimination on the grounds of gender;

7                Avoids policy and programmes being adopted that continue existing inequalities based on gender or makes them worse;

7                Has created a policy review process, which specifically generates gender equality and diversity outcomes.

 

6.3 The EQIA process is now part of committee report structure and corporate Service Planning Guidelines.

 

6.4 All gender equality action and EQIA items can be viewed in Appendix 1 to the Council's Gender Equality Scheme and are placed on the corporate monitoring database with regular updates required by lead officers. Regular reports are provided to the Council Management Team.

 

 

7.0 The Gender and Sexuality Equality and Diversity Action Group

 

7.1 The Gender and Sexuality Equality and Diversity Action Group (GEDAG) is a corporate review body comprising of representatives from all departments which is responsible for:

 

7                Analysing data produced by the Personnel Department to identify areas of gender under-representation in the Council workforce;

7                Providing feedback and recommendations to departments regarding areas of positive action that could be taken to increase the numbers of men and women working in gender segregated services;

7                Monitoring and providing feedback to departments in relation to the full impact assessments and gender equality action plans identified in Appendices 1 and 2;

7                Analysing of monitoring data produced across all departments and identification of any potential barriers to accessibility relating to gender;

7                Providing departmental training reports;

7                Providing input to the Councils consultation response to new policy/legislation relating to gender;

7                Collecting good practice case studies on gender equality and diversity;

7                Assisting in the preparation of gender equality and diversity schemes and in the development of generic equality and diversity policy.

 

7.2 GEDAG receives annual gender employment monitoring and gender equality and diversity action reports from departments in May of each year and provides feedback by September. In addition, the group provides a quarterly progress report to the full Council Management Team.

 

 

8 Progress report - Gender Equality and Diversity Objectives

 

8.1.1 Objectives as an Employer

 

As mentioned previously, the Board does not employ staff of its own. However, it supports the Council's objective to be an employer that welcomes and encourages gender diversity, prevents unlawful discrimination on the grounds of gender and promotes gender equality by:

 

8.1.2 employing a workforce, which is representative of the citys economically active population.

 

Progress

 

7                equality monitoring information in relation to employees in post and applications for employment is published and is available on the equality and diversity pages of the Council's website;

7                gender specific training initiatives such as "Women Leading" being used within some departments.

 

Priorities for Action

 

7                analyse equality monitoring data further to identify areas of potential concern eg gender balance in promoted posts, flexible working arrangements in promoted posts, occupational segregation etc, and where necessary develop plans to address issues.

 

8.1.3 monitoring recruitment and selection procedures to ensure they are non-discriminatory and encourage applications in cases of gender under-representation.

 

Progress Report

 

7                the Council runs a two-day course on Recruitment and Selection, which is delivered by the Personnel Department and covers the Council's procedure and relevant equalities legislation. An officer must be deemed competent by the trainer at the end of the course before being involved in recruitment procedures;

7                Council representatives regularly take part in jobs fairs, organised by the Job Centre, which target specific groups of job seekers eg lone parents, job seekers on incapacity benefits etc;

7                Providing gender specific training initiatives to encourage women to participate in non traditional sectors eg HGV for women courses.

 

Priorities for Action

 

7                analyse information gathered on applications for employment and employees in post in order to identify areas of gender imbalance and develop plans to address issues.

 

8.1.4 ensuring fair access to learning and development opportunities.

 

Progress Report

 

7                on-line training courses are being developed which will allow easier access for those employees on flexible working contracts;

7                use of Cardinus on-line display screen equipment training package which facilitates self assessment and awareness raising on Health and Safety issues, already in use;

7                Stress and the Risk Management Process on-line training package currently being developed;

7                CETIS computer based training package with some modules already available and the potential to add further modules as required.

Priorities for Action

 

7                monitor information on uptake of learning and development opportunities to identify any gender imbalance and develop plans to address issues if required;

7                pilot single gender courses where gender-related issues or under-representation is identified eg Coping with Stress for Men; Assertiveness for Women; Handling Aggression and Violence for Women.

 

8.1.5 creating an accessible working environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence on grounds of gender.

 

Progress Report

 

7                the Council has a Policy on Personal Harassment which is annually publicised to employees via payslips, posters, leaflets and intranet;

7                Harassment Support Officers are available to provide informal, confidential assistance and support to employees who feel they may be victims of harassment. There are 16 Harassment Support Officers, 11 women and 5 men, who work across the range of Council departments.

 

Priorities for Action

 

7                analyse the monitoring information kept by Harassment Support Officers to identify any gender-related issues and develop plans to address any issues identified;

7                monitor information on violence and aggression forms to identify any gender-related issues and develop plans to address any issues identified;

7                ensure employees are aware of their duties and responsibilities to ensure the working environment is free from discrimination, harassment and violence by including information in the Employee Handbook.

 

8.1.6 promoting a culture, which values and respects the identity and culture of each person.

The development of these processes has led to a need for a corporate communication and consultation policy which addresses equality needs. This would provide clear guidance to departments regarding principles and practice as well as access to corporate resources for implementation.

 

In addition, the need to develop consultative frameworks for equality groups through the Dundee Partnership has been identified as a priority by the Equality and Diversity Partnership.
