Report of the Task and Finish Group on Presentations to Area Boards
To receive a verbal update from Mr Gerry Robson, OBE
Minutes:
Mr Gerry Robson OBE gave a verbal update on progress and said that the group had not met since the last Standards Committee meeting and he requested guidance on how the committee wished to move this forward.
A debate ensued during which concerns were raised regarding the effectiveness of presentations and it was suggested that perhaps the message from the Standards Committee could be incorporated into presentations on the cultural change programme. It was also noted that the presentation needed to centre on the interests aspect of the code and include dispensations as these were issues relevant to Area Boards.
Resolved
That Mr Robson and the Monitoring Officer liaise with Councillor Laura Mayes to find ways to link this into the cultural change programme and report back to the next meeting of the Standards Committee.
