Minutes:

 

 

Members raised questions or commented regarding the following:

 

  • The delay in the reporting of the Annual Partnership Performance Report.  Following debate, it was agreed that rather than roll this action forward, a point in time should be taken to conclude the action.  The Senior Policy and Transformation Manager commented that this action could be completed by the end of August 2020.

 

  • If lessons could be learnt to shorten the timescale for the handling of Code of Conduct complaints as referred to on page 41 of the report.  It was agreed that The Strategic Director (Services) liaise with the Monitoring Officer regarding how this could be reported to a future meeting referencing, in general terms, whether there were similar themes to complaints and whether lessons could therefore be learnt.  Also to understand how procedures under the new constitution have changed to result in the resolution of complaints not being delayed unnecessarily.

 

  • The actions relating to the corporate document retention and disposal schedule, which had been revised to October 2020 for implementation.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the content of the Report and the progress against the Internal Audit management actions be noted and that:

 

1.            That the action on the Annual Partnership Performance Report be concluded at a fixed point in time.

 

2.              That the Strategic Director (Services) liaise with the Monitoring Officer over the submission of a report to a future meeting on Code of Conduct complaint cases as outlined above
