Minutes:
The Committee noted a number of items including:
· The draft workplan for 2021-22 was circulated to Members and views were requested on items to include. Members requested that the review on the terms of reference be expanded to include a wider review on the effectiveness of the Committee and its work.
· The Monitoring Officer was requested to ask other MOs whether they had undertaken reviews of the effectiveness of their Standards Committees and any lessons learnt.
· It would be interesting to see in the code of conduct complaints update report to have more information on the trends in complaints received and whether there was anything to learn or to particularly monitor.
· A report on the planning for the Member Induction programme would be useful.
· A report will be presented to an upcoming meeting in relation to reappointing co-optees to the Committee and providing an update on Independent Person recruitment.
The Committee also noted discussions the Chair was holding with the Chief Executive around the senior leadership reorganisation.
The Committee also noted that they would be informed on how upcoming meetings would take place with reference to the Covid-19 pandemic and the future use of hybrid, virtual and physical meeting options.
