5.1 The TLS gave a brief introduction to the report, highlighting the following areas: · This report was to inform members of the Education O&S Committee on progress made implementing scrutiny recommendations, previously accepted or noted as to be considered by the Executive and to assess the impact of the scrutiny activity. · This was not an exercise to re-scrutinise any reports but rather to decide whether the Committee were happy with the actions undertaken in response to recommendations and the update provided. 5.2 The Committee were satisfied with the progress made against each of the recommendations that they previously put forward to the Executive Member and therefore agreed to remove all items from their monitor, going forward.
6.1 The date of the next meeting was confirmed to be 8th October 2026.
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.
