Agenda and minutes

To receive declarations of personal or prejudicial interests, arising from business to be transacted at this meeting, from all Members of the Panel.

RESOLVED:  To note that there were no declarations of interests made by Members in relation to the business to be transacted at this meeting.

[Note:  Personnel Appeals Panel minutes are:-

(1)               approved following each meeting by the Members serving on that particular occasion and signed as a correct record by the Chairman for that meeting;

(2)               not submitted to the next panel meeting for approval.

Reasons: The Personnel Appeals Panel is constituted from a pooled membership.  Consequently, a subsequent Panel meeting is likely to comprise a different Chairman and Members who took no part in the previous meeting’s proceedings.  The process referred to at (1) above provides appropriate approval scrutiny].
