An action plan to help more black, asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people get jobs at the council is underway as they are massively under represented in the local authority.
Currently only 3.4 per cent of the council’s workforce, of more than 30,000 employees are of a BAME background, although they represent 18 per cent of the city’s population.
Labour councillor Hanif Raja put forward a motion, which was approved with an amendment calling for more to be done to boost equality among council employees.
