Issue - meetings

          The Committee considered a report of the Operational Director, Legal and Democratic Services/Monitoring Officer, which summarised the work of the Committee in the last Municipal Year.

          At the meeting in February 2016, Members had considered the Annual Report, which had noted an update on the Standards regime. There had been an update on issues that had arisen in other parts of the country, which provided an insight into the nature of matters raised and how they were dealt with elsewhere.

          In addition, Members also received a report on the Council’s Whistleblowing Policy, in so far as it related to the work of the Standards Committee. It was noted that the Policy was kept under review as regards best practice, as part of the annual review of the Council’s Constitution.

          RESOLVED: That the report be noted and referred to Council for information.
