Aims and ObjectivesAs part of the Councils annual savings exercise, efficiencies are sought through a range of methods including a

reduction in staffing where appropriate. This has so far fallen short of compulsory redundancies and have been

achieved through non filling of vacancies, redeployment, voluntary severance and early retirement as per the Councils
collective agreement.
ConclusionThe Council is required to review and assess services to ensure that it can deliver efficient effective and accessible
services. This will inevitably lead to changes that will affect the workforce. The Council will consult fully with those
likely to be affected so as to minimise any identified adverse affect.

The Councils package of savings proposals for the year ahead are subject to consultation and individual impact
assessment. Where adverse impact has been identified, steps will be taken to limit the effect on protected groups.

The conclusion of this equality impact assessment is that there may an impact on the female part of the workforce
covered by equalities legislation, or on workforce relations, the proposal is in line with the Councils collective
agreement and therefore identifies efficiencies where individuals are eligible for early retirement, voluntary redundancy
or redeployment.
