Reform-led council scraps diversity training
Durham County Council has decided to remove mandatory equality, diversity, inclusion, and climate change training modules for its employees. The decision was made by the reform-led council, which aims to streamline the council's operations and focus on core services. The training modules were deemed unnecessary and a waste of time and resources by the council. This move is part of the council's broader efforts to cut bureaucracy and shift resources towards frontline services. The decision has sparked some controversy, with critics arguing that diversity and inclusivity training are essential for public sector organizations. However, the council maintains that the training was not producing tangible benefits and that the resources can be better utilized elsewhere. The council's priority is to ensure efficient and effective service delivery to the local community.
