Decision:
RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL
That the revised Disciplinary and Contract Termination Procedure and Flexible Working Policy be approved.
Minutes:
The Cabinet considered the report circulated with the agenda (copy attached to the official minutes).
Mr Finch introduced the report, explaining that it proposed amendments to the Disciplinary & Contract Termination Procedure to shorten and simplify the procedure and to provide a sanction in cases where staff who work with children or vulnerable adults fail to complete a criminal record disclosure form. The report also proposed amendments to bring the Flexible Working Policy into line with current legislation. The proposed amendments had been discussed by the Joint Employee Consultative Committee and were supported by the employees’ representatives.
Mrs Lintill welcomed the proposed amendment of the Disciplinary & Contract Termination Procedure, in view of the importance of proper safeguarding arrangements.
RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL
