Response by Head of Service: Thank you for the question. The Transformation and Democratic service is part of corporate services and provides a range of both statutory and non-statutory functions. The support from the service is fundamental to the delivery of Sustainable Powys. In total, there are 44 members of the team (which equates to 39.6 full-time equivalents (FTE) as many staff are part-time). The table below provides a breakdown of headcount and FTE by team. Transformation and Democratic Service Team name Full-time Equivalent Headcount Statutory Strategic Planning, Policy and Performance 4 4 Welsh Translation and Language 6.6 10 Head of Democratic Service 1 1 Cabinet, Scrutiny and Member support 5.8 6 Full-time Equivalent Headcount Non-statutory Business Intelligence 9.6 10 Communications, Engagement and Graphic design 8.6 9 4 individual roles* 4 4 Total 39.6 44 *These roles have been grouped to avoid identifying any individuals. The teams that provide statutory functions ensure that the Council meets it statutory obligations under: • Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021 • Wellbeing of Future Generations Act 2015 • Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023 • Equality Act 2010 (statutory duties) (Wales) regulations • Welsh Language Standards (Welsh Language Measure 2011) • Local Government Act 1972 It is important to note that those teams deemed non-statutory provide support to many statutory functions within the whole organisation. For instance, many aspects of work provided by the Business Intelligence support the Director and Heads of Social services with insight and intelligence to: • plan both current and future service delivery, as well as • provide assurance. The team also provide statutory returns to Welsh Government on behalf of front-line services.
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.
