That the protocol be approved.

The Chief Executive introduced a report to seek approval of the updated protocol on collaboration, which had been extended to incorporate the roles of the Audit Committee and Overview & Scrutiny to ensure consistency and transparency on the reporting of collaboration projects.  In highlighting the proposed amendments to the protocol, he reminded the Committee that it was able to raise any issues of clarity on specific projects to give assurance on governance arrangements.

In response to a query from the Chair on regional scrutiny post-implementation, the Chief Executive explained that there were currently a small number of large regional collaborative projects whose performance was scrutinised by each individual Council.

RESOLVED:

That the protocol be approved.
