PDF 76 KB
Minutes:
The Committee
considered the report of the Head of Finance and Resources setting
out details of the induction/refresher training which had been
provided to date and the training which was being organised for
Planning Committee Members and Substitute Members in accordance
with the requirements of the Constitution. It was noted that Group Leaders were insistent
that existing Members and Substitute Members of the Planning
Committee must receive refresher training on an annual basis, and
the training which had been provided could be repeated. It was a matter for the Planning Committee to
determine the details of the other training to be
completed. The Democracy Committee had
been charged with reviewing the operation and effectiveness of the
new Constitution, and the issue of the provision of quality
training for all Committees would be addressed at that time.
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Political Group Spokespersons should consult with their
respective groups and draw up a proposed programme of professional
development for Planning Committee Members and Substitute Members,
including external training and peer assisted learning, to feed
into the report to the Democracy Committee.
2.
That all Members should be provided with training on planning
processes.
