This is the history for the submission "Motion by Bailie Hanif Raja:- "Council believes that racism is deep-rooted, and the consequences of structural racism are expressed in a continuing lack of representation of BAME people among the general workforce, including just 3.1% of the current Council-family workforce. This does not reflect the diversity of our city, particularly in senior roles including in our schools; and Council notes that this trend is also seen in Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue. Council notes the BAME Employment Working Group which has produced several outputs, including an over 1% increase in the BAME workforce within the Council; further notes that the work of the Black Lives Matter/Slavery Legacy Group is due to address barriers to employment. Council believes progress to date has been insufficient and that progress needs to be accelerated. However, Council recognises that the onus should not just be on the Council's existing BAME workforce to drive that action. Council reiterates its belief that anti-racist work, and work to improve equality outcomes for the city's diverse communities is core to its work. Therefore, Council resolves to instruct officers to work with the various working groups and key stakeholders to bring forward an Action Plan to be approved by the relevant committee by March 2023. This action plan should: - demonstrate the potential generational change towards representation and diversity in the Council's workforce, so that our workforce better represents the communities it serves; - establish a target to achieve population-proportionate level of BAME employment across the Council family, including senior levels, and an assessment of how this can be achieved; - respond to the Report of the Inquiry into Islamophobia in Scotland's recommendation to "Include representatives from Scotland's diverse communities - where possible - on interview panels in the workplace"; and - respond with key actions and strategies to enable a step-change in the city's commitment to equality and diversity among its workforce. Council recognises the importance of the work already being done to support its own workforce who have experiences of prejudice-based bullying and racist incidents, and resolves to work to understand those experiences, including by developing a training resource on that basis. Council further resolves that the Wellbeing, Empowerment, Community, Citizen Engagement and General Purposes City Policy Committee should be renamed to include 'Equality and Justice' with quarterly reports from the various working groups."".
