The Chairman shall propose that the minutes of the meeting of this committee held on 17.10.17 be signed as a true record

The Chair signed the minutes of the meeting of this committee held on 17.10.17 as a true record.

The Chairman shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the

meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of

exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Part 4, Schedule 12A of the

Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph should apply because the report

contains information regarding individuals and the individuals in question are

entitled to privacy and there is no overriding public interest that requires the

disclosure of personal information relating to those individuals, nor their identities.

Consequently the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the

public interest in disclosing the information

RESOLVED to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph is relevant as the report includes information regarding specific individuals and that those individuals are entitled to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about the individuals or for them to be identified. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

To interview the applicant for the post

One applicant who was on the short list for the post was interviewed.

The applicant gave a presentation on how he would deliver and fulfil his vision in practice, and he responded to a number of subsequent questions.

It was proposed and seconded that the post be offered to Mr Garem Jackson.

In response to a question regarding mentoring, the Chief Executive expressed that he would discuss the appropriate support needs with the applicant in order to assist him with development in his role as the Head of Education.

RESOLVED UNANIMOUSLY TO APPOINT MR GAREM JACKSON TO THE POST OF HEAD OF EDUCATION.
