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 applies as the report contains information about specific individuals who have the right to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
RESOLVED: TO PLACE ONE CANDIDATE ON THE SHORTLIST FOR THE POSITION OF (INTERIM) HEAD OF CHILDREN AND SUPPORTING FAMILIES DEPARTMENT

RESOLVED: TO PLACE ONE CANDIDATE ON THE SHORTLIST FOR THE POSITION OF (INTERIM) HEAD OF CHILDREN AND SUPPORTING FAMILIES DEPARTMENT
The Statutory Director of Social Services presented a brief summary of the reasoning for the advertisement and the responsibilities of the post. He highlighted that the current arrangements of filling the gap in the absence of the Head of the Children and Supporting Families Department were unsustainable and that a responsible and accountable Head was needed to lead; with the appointment of an interim Head, this would allow for other vacancies within the Department to be filled retrospectively and the establishment of a robust structure for the service. One application was reported to have been received. It was considered that the application responded to the requirements of the position and key competencies. It was proposed and seconded that the one candidate be shortlisted. RESOLVED: TO PLACE ONE CANDIDATE ON THE SHORTLIST FOR THE POSITION OF (INTERIM) HEAD OF CHILDREN AND SUPPORTING FAMILIES DEPARTMENT
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
