Your request
Please can you share an up to date recruitment policy and selection framework (specifically any information you have around your approach to diverse interview panels) as I have been unable to access this via your website.
Our response
The council's recruitment policy is attached. Please note that this is currently under review. In addition, the council has introduced the role of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion champions who have a role in the recruitment process which can include sitting on senior appointment panels or stakeholder panels. They represent parts of the Council, and their input is to advise on prospective candidate’s alignment to the organisations values with a key focus on EDI as part of recruitment process. At present this is for senior roles, and we are looking to extend this to other roles.
