Minutes:
Matthew Mannion, Head of Democratic Services, introduced the report. He reminded Members that the Committee had received a report in October 2018 which had specifically looked at the Member Induction programme following the May 2018 elections. This report brought the committee up to date with training which had taken place since that time as well as planned training sessions for the next few months.
During discussion a number of points were noted:
· The first appendix was split into two parts, the first showing training arranged for specific members or as part of the formal member training programme, the second part showed member briefing sessions arranged by various council directorates and services.
· Attendance information was also provided.
· The second appendix set out planned member development training sessions for the rest of the municipal year and many of these had been specifically requested by Members.
· The groups would be made aware of the attendance details provided to the committee.
During discussion it was agreed that:
· Future reports would provide more clarity on the types of training delivered, such as in respect of mandatory training or externally provided training and associated costs.
· It was important to ensure that co-optees were invited to relevant training sessions.
Subject to the above actions, the Committee then:
RESOLVED
1. That the report be noted.
