Issue - meetings

The report of the Head of Organisational Development was submitted for consideration.

The Leader noted the report which was self-explanatory in seeking endorsement for a new policy for the Authority for time off for Reservists. The Leader advised that providing support for reservists was an important element of the Silver Award which had been granted pending approval of the Policy.

The Leader added that Blaenau Gwent was a lead organisation in delivering on the Armed Forces Covenant and wished to mention Councillor Brian Thomas the Armed Forces Champion who represented Blaenau Gwent very well at all related events

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and Option 1 be endorsed, namely the Time Off for Reservists Policy be supported and endorsed.
