Decision details

Exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act, 1972.  It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interests in disclosing the information.

The Committee conducted an interview for the position of Executive Director of Education and Children's Services.

The Committee also received feedback from stakeholder panels and on the outcome of media and personality tests.

It was noted that the Committee had previously authorised the Head of Service Human Resources, in consultation with the chair of the Committee and the Director of Corporate Services, to approve terms and conditions with the successful candidate. 

Resolved:  That, subject to no objections being made to the Leader of the Council by any member of the Cabinet and to satisfactory terms and conditions being agreed with the Head of Service Human Resources, Edwina Grant be appointed to the position of Executive Director of Education and Children's Services.
