DRAFT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the revised Disciplinary and Contract Termination Procedure and Flexible Working Policy be approved.

 

Minutes:

Mr Finch (Cabinet Member for Support Services), seconded by Mrs Lintill, moved the recommendation of the Cabinet. He explained that amendments were proposed 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. Amendments were also proposed 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.

 

RESOLVED

 

That the revised Disciplinary and Contract Termination Procedure and Flexible Working Policy be approved.
