Resource Committee August 2025

This document contains the minutes from a Cairngorms National Park Authority Resources Committee meeting, held on 29 August 2025, covering a range of important topics. The committee approved previous meeting minutes and addressed ongoing actions related to the social media policy and other information policies, staff recognition, and exploring the possibility of credit unions. They reviewed the Park Authority's budget for the 2025/26 financial year, including a £300,000 underspend from the previous year, and discussed specific funding for peatland restoration and Community Led Local Development (CLLD). A key focus was the 2024/25 Equal Pay Audit, which looked at the gender pay gap and the Park Authority's efforts to support women in leadership roles through training, job shares, and progressive policies like those concerning menopause and endometriosis. The committee also noted minutes from the Health and Safety Committee, which covered accident reporting and training, and from the Staff Consultative Forum, where changes to the Gender Diversity policy, the introduction of single-use gender-neutral toilets, and the positive relationship with unions were discussed. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 November 2025.
