Minutes:
The Committee
considered the report of the Head of Policy and Communications
updating progress against the Annual Governance Statement Action
Plan 2016/17. It was noted that the
Action Plan was produced and published with the Annual Governance
Statement for 2015/16. It focused on
areas identified in the Annual Governance Statement as requiring
additional action and assurance including training and
communication on information management; residents’
involvement in decision making; risk management; and audit reviews
with weak assurance ratings. Action had
been taken in all areas as set out in Appendix A to the report.
It was suggested that
the section of the Action Plan relating to residents’
involvement in decision making might need to be updated after the
establishment of the new Member sounding board for
communications.
In response to
questions, the Head of Policy and Communications explained that the
next Annual Governance Statement reviewing the effectiveness of the
governance arrangements in place for 2016/17 would be submitted to
the Committee in June/July 2017. It
would include an action plan for 2017/18 arising from the
review.
RESOLVED: That
the Annual Governance Statement Action Plan 2016/17 update be
noted.
