HTR Efficiency Savings 11/12 to 13/14 - Review of Clerical and Administrative Support - Equality Impact assessments

Title
HTR Efficiency Savings 11/12 to 13/14 - Review of Clerical and Administrative Support
Council Resource
Housing and Technical
Service Area
Housing & Technical Resources
Aims and Objectives
It is proposed to undertake a further review of the Clerical and Administrative Support employed across the Resource. This review proposes to reduce the total Clerical and Administrative Support by 26 Full Time Equivalent posts.
Conclusion
As part of the Council's budget savings exercise, it is proposed to review the current Clerical and Administrative support within Housing and Technical Resources, with the aim of reducing this by 26 Full Time Equivalent posts. It is recognised that due to the profile of employees in these roles, this proposal is more likely to impact on females. However steps have been taken to reduce this impact and achieve the savings by the redeployment of staff into other posts, not filling vacant posts as they arise and via early retirement. Following the impact assessment undertaken, the Council has reached the conclusion that the implementation of this saving will not therefore have any significant adverse impact on any equality group.
