Written Response by WG Agenda Item: 4 Meeting of: Democratic Services Committee Date of Meeting: Monday, 22 July 2019 Relevant Scrutiny Committee: Corporate Performance and Resources Written Response by the Welsh Government to the Report of the Equality, Report Title: Local Government and Communities Committee entitled Diversity in Local Government - April 2019 To apprise Members of the Minister for Housing and Local Government response to the Welsh Assembly Equality, Local Government and Purpose of Report: Communities Committees recommendations in relation to Diversity in Local Government Report Owner: Head of Democratic Services Responsible Officer: Jeff Rees Elected Member and This is an internal matter and, therefore, no consultation has been Officer Consultation: necessary. The Council will be required to abide with any changes required as a result of Policy Framework: any new statutory legislation. Executive Summary: • On Wednesday 26 June, the National Assembly for Wales debated the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee (ELGCC) report on Diversity in Local Government. • The Committee made 22 recommendations in its report which were predominantly for the Welsh Government. These ranged from publicity campaigns to encourage greater diversity of candidates standing for election, to mock elections for young people to run concurrently with Assembly elections. Some of the Committee’s recommendations would require new and additional resources from the Welsh Government. • Set out at Appendix A, is a copy of the Minister's response to the Committee's recommendations. 1 Recommendation 1. That the recommendations of the Welsh Assembly Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee's recommendations in relation to Diversity in Local Government and the Minister's response be noted. Reason for Recommendation 1. To apprise Members. 1. Background 1.1 On Wednesday 26 June, the National Assembly for Wales debated the Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee (ELGCC) report on Diversity in Local Government. The Committee undertook the inquiry in anticipation of the proposed local government bill, to suggest practical solutions to overcome some of the many barriers preventing greater diversity in local government. The results of the Councillors' survey can be found on this link. 1.2 In 2014, a report by an expert group established by the Welsh Government – On Balance: Diversifying Democracy in Local Government in Wales, found that the profile of Councillors is still predominantly white, male, and with an average age of about 60. The report authors noted at the time that it is “vital that the people which make decisions on our behalf are in tune with and representative of their local communities”. 1.2.1 Welsh Government (WG) has considered that the changing the makeup of our democratic institutions, making them more diverse and representative, has not progressed as rapidly as many would have hoped. Despite some early successes in Wales, such as equal gender representation at the National Assembly in 2003, similar progress has not been seen within Council Chambers across Wales. At present, women account for around 28 per cent of elected Local Authority Members – in 2004, the figure was 22 per cent. And despite some progress in the number of female Local Authority Leaders, of Wales’ 22 Local Authorities, only four a led by women. 1.2.2 Female under-representation in local government forms only part of the challenges ahead. Increasing representation among younger people, individuals from BAME and the LGBT community, individuals with disabilities and those from different socio-economic backgrounds presents significant challenges for local government as a whole across Wales. Activities to encourage participation in local government do exist, such as mentoring and leadership schemes (some informal, as in the case of the Council). These provide opportunities for individuals in under-represented groups to build confidence and develop skills for public life. Nevertheless, evidence heard by the Committee shows that such schemes have not always had the anticipated impact on diversity. 1.2.3 Members of this Council were sent details of how to participate in the WG Committee's evidence gathering exercise via email on 6th July last year, with the deadline for responses to WG before 24th August, 2018. 2 2. Key Issues for Consideration 2.1 The Committee made 22 recommendations in its report (set out in in the Minister's response at Appendix A), which were predominantly for the WG. These ranged from publicity campaigns to encourage greater diversity of candidates standing for election, to mock elections for young people to run concurrently with Assembly elections. Some of the Committee’s recommendations would require new and additional resources from the WG. However, as a matter of urgency, the Committee were of the view that the WG should establish an Access to Elected Office fund in Wales. While the Committee did not specify how much resource should be allocated, the fund would assist individuals with disabilities to run for office. The fund could also be extended to assist individuals from other under-represented groups in Wales. 2.2 In addition to the above, the Committee made a number of recommendations in relation to aspects of the administration of local government business. These include relaxing restrictions on Members’ remote attendance at formal Council meetings, and expanding opportunities for job-sharing at Cabinet level. The Committee also called for the collective reporting of care allowances for dependents claimed by Members – anecdotal evidence suggests some Members are deterred from claiming the allowance for fear of public criticism. 2.3 The Committee also considered that social media presented Elected Members with a platform to engage and communicate with the electorate in a way that was not previously possible. However, the Committee also took the view that it also provided a platform for sharing abuse and harassment. The Committee called for stronger guidance for candidates and elected representatives on what is, and isn’t, acceptable behaviour on social media. Further to this, the Committee recommends a review of the robustness of support mechanisms for members experiencing online abuse and harassment whilst carrying out their public duties. 3. How do proposals evidence the Five Ways of Working and contribute to our Well-being Objectives? 3.1 Evidently these proposals are for the WG to introduce through its legislative programme in due course. However, the Council acknowledges its role in contributing to these important matters and the commitment to diversity is reflected in its Corporate Plan. One of the Council's Wellbeing Outcome and related objective has identified Valuing Culture and Diversity so that citizens have opportunities to achieve their full potential including, respecting and valuing diversity within our communities and recognises the importance of promoting equality of opportunity. 3 4. Resources and Legal Considerations Financial 4.1 These are still to be determined. As stated in the Committee's report implementation of some its recommendation will require new and additional resources to be provided by the WG. Employment 4.2 The main implications will likely to be officer time. Legal (Including Equalities) 4.3 The Council is required to comply with statutory provisions as set out in the relevant sections of the Employment Rights Act 1996; the Sex Discrimination (Election Candidates) Act 2002; the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2011; the Local Government Act 2000 (as amended); the Equality Act 2010 5.

Having secured recurrent funding for a Wales Gender Identity Clinic, Plaid Cymru will work to improve the provision and ensure timely access to its services and support. I support the reform of the Gender Recognition Act to introduce a streamlined, de-medicalised process based on self-declaration and in line with international best practice. We will seek the devolution of powers necessary to introduce this change and will uphold trans people's right to continue to access services and facilities in accordance with their gender identity. (on follow up) As far as trans rights are concerned, I think it's about acceptance. Transwomen are women if that is their choice and Tony Thomas preferred identity. For many the transition follows years of unimaginable trauma and torment.
