Councillor Warren proposed an amendment to the pay policy statement by adding to the key strategic aims for 2015/19 reference to adopting a zero tolerance to bullying of staff by fellow staff members.  In response, Councillor Pavey assured members that the recommendations in his review of equalities and HR policies would be implemented and, whilst agreeing with the sentiments of Councillor Warren’s proposed amendment, pointed out that the document before Members was a pay policy and not an HR strategy.

Councillor Warren’s amendment was put to the vote and declared LOST.
