Gender Equality

Stirling Council has prepared a Gender Equality Scheme confirming the actions it will take to eliminate discrimination and promote equality of opportunity for men, women boys and girls in the Stirling Council area.

Gender Equality Scheme 2007-10

This identifies what we will do to promote gender equality and challenge discrimination when recruiting and employing people and delivering services directly to our customers or when working with contractors and partner organisations to do this.

Gender Equality Scheme Action Plan: Appendix A

This identifies improvement actions the Council will take in its Gender Equality Scheme for 2007-10. The Action Plan lists priority themes for promoting gender equality and tackling discrimination wherever it may arise. Each theme details the associated aims, key outcomes and actions to be delivered over the lifetime of the Scheme.

Education Gender Equality Scheme and Action Plan: Appendix B

Stirling Council Children’s Services, as the education authority, have developed a gender equality scheme that sits within the overarching Stirling Council Gender Equality Scheme. This goes beyond Children’s Services education functions and addresses gender equality in all services for children and young people.

Equal Pay Policy Statement

The Equal Pay Policy Statement is required as part of the Council’s Gender Equality Scheme. Stirling Council is committed to implementing the Single Status Agreement in order to ensure equality in respect of pay and terms and conditions for all its affected employees at the earliest opportunity. We are in the final stages of negotiating with the Trades Unions in order to secure a collective agreement on the job evaluation process and the Single Status terms and conditions proposals and hope to have completed this in the current financial year.

Gender Equality Scheme Action Plan - 1st Annual Review

This identifies the progress achieved in delivering the Action Plan for the year ending 30 June, together with areas where further action is required. This is contained in a report which also confirms progress in delivery of the first year of the Council’s Education Gender Equality Scheme. Progress in delivering both schemes is detailed in Appendices to the report.
