Issue - meetings

Having regard to the views expressed by the Proper Officer regarding the public interest test, that on balance the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information and that the report should be exempt.

RESOLVED that the public be excluded whilst this item of business is transacted as it is likely there would be a disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 12 & 13, Part 1, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

Consideration was given to report of the Interim Chief Executive.

RESOLVED that the report which related to staffing matters be accepted; and the Governance and Audit Committee:-

3.1 Considered and noted the following:-

•         The investigation report (Appendix B)

•         CLT determinations (Appendix C)

3.2  The Action Plan (Appendix D) to address the weaknesses

       identified and strengthen recruitment policy and process

       be updated in line with Member’s recommendations and

       future progress reports be received.

3.3  The Committee continued to gain assurance that

        improvements in processes were made, and compliance

        was monitored.
