(i)       to agree to re-establish the Appeals Sub Committee and appoint all thirteen members of the Staff Governance Committee to the pool of membership for the Sub Committee; and

(ii)       to note that training is to be provided for Members of the Appeals Sub Committee and agree that the invitation to the training is extended to Trade Union representatives.

The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Commissioning which sought the re-establishment of the Appeals Sub Committee and appointment of Members to same.

The report advised that the Appeals Sub Committee procedure, agreed by the Committee in May 2018, stated that the Sub Committee would comprise five

Members drawn from the membership of the Staff Governance Committee.

The quorum was three members, and the Clerk would aim to secure one member per Political Group, although it was recognised that this might not always be possible and would be dependent on availability of Members. The Convener of the Sub Committee would be the Convener of the Staff Governance Committee.

The report recommended:-

that the Committee agree to re-establish the Appeals Sub Committee and appoint all thirteen members of the Staff Governance Committee to the pool of membership for the Sub Committee.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)       to note that training was to be provided for Members of the Appeals Sub Committee and agree that the invitation to the training was extended to Trade Union representatives; and

(ii)       to approve the recommendation.
