To adopt the
Diversity Declaration below and request that the Democratic Services Committee
develop a work programme to support the declaration:-
“This Council commits to being a Diverse Council. Therefore, we wish to reflect the community in
which we live by, in the first instance, increasing the number of females,
young people, disabled and ethnic minority who stand in the elections to be a
Gwynedd Councillor.
We agree to:-
·
Provide
a clear public commitment to improving diversity in democracy
·
Demonstrate an open and welcoming culture to all,
promoting the highest standards
of behaviour and conduct
·
Promote actions as a Diverse Council ahead of the 2022
local elections
·
Work towards the standards set out in the Wales
Charter for Member Support and
Development
·
Demonstrate a commitment to a duty of care for
Councillors
·
Consider how to provide flexibility in council
business by reviewing our practical
arrangements
·
Continue to encourage all members to take up the
allowances and salaries to which
they are entitled, particularly any reimbursement for costs of care, so that
all members receive fair remuneration for their work and that the role of
member is
not limited to those who can afford it.
·
Work towards ensuring that councillors from
under-represented groups are represented whenever possible in high profile,
high influence roles.”
