Decision:

That the action plan be accepted.

Minutes:

The Chairman and Sally Ellis (former Chair) presented a report and action plan to address the findings of the self-assessment undertaken by the Committee in December 2022.  The action plan would be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Committee and inform future development needs.  A range of actions were identified along with timescales which would lead to further improvement within the Council.

 

The Chairman highlighted action 2.2 which reiterated the current practice for the Committee to invite responsible officers to provide explanation on key actions and risks, as demonstrated in the previous agenda item.

 

Councillor Bernie Attridge thanked the Chairman and Sally Ellis for their work on the report and welcomed the process to show accountability for actions.  The Chairman advised that the Leader of the Council had agreed to meet with himself and the Vice-Chair on a quarterly basis.

 

The recommendation was moved and seconded by Councillor Bernie Attridge and Rev Brian Harvey.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the action plan be accepted.
