The Equality Trusts Manifesto - how well do you Tackle Inequality & Poverty in Poole?

We're waiting for Pamela Jefferies to read a recent response and update the status.

Pamela Jefferies

Dear Poole Borough Council,

How many of the following do you already implement;

Equality Trust Manifesto
THE FAIRNESS FIFTEEN
Tackling Inequality & Poverty Where We Live

FAIR PAY
1 Pay all directly contracted staff the real Living Wage (as set by the Living Wage Foundation)
2 Ensure all council contractors are required to pay staff the real Living Wage
3 Publish a plan to reduce the pay ratio between the CEO and the lowest-paid directly employed council worker
4 Adopt a policy to consider income inequality or pay inequality as a social value clause when awarding council contracts

FAIR POLICIES
5 Evaluate the likely impact of council policies on socio-economic inequality*
6 Ensure 100% of the Local Welfare Assistance Fund is spent
7 Publish and pursue active strategies to tackle local food, fuel and funeral poverty
8 Enact 20mph speed limits in residential areas**
9 Set up a redistributive giving scheme like Islington Giving http://www.islingtongiving.org.uk/websit...
10 Make tackling inequality a priority in the council’s budget-setting process and appoint a senior officer and/or cabinet member to take responsibility for inequality reduction

FAIR LEADERSHIP
11 Act as an ambassador for the real Living Wage and promote it to local employers
12 Use council pension funds for shareholder activism to reduce high pay and tackle low pay in the companies in which it invests
13 Ban payday loan and rent-to-own companies from council advertising spaces
14 Enable council staff to use credit unions via the payroll function
15 Support credit unions through direct funding and other mechanisms

Yours faithfully,

Ms Pamela Jefferies
