Report of the Town Clerk.

Members received a report of the Town Clerk regarding outstanding actions of the Board. The following matters were raised:-

·         Item 1/2020/P was considered well bedded into practice and the Board agreed to remove it from the actions list.

·         Item 3/2020/P (marked completed): Members discussed meeting the skills requirements of COLAT LGBs. CoLAT Trustees, enacted through LGB Chairs, are responsible for governor recruitment to vacancies which includes assessing the LGB’s skill requirements as per the Department for Education’s Governance Handbook. LBG Chairs inform the Education Unit of an upcoming vacancy to seek nominations from the Court of Common Council and Governors for Schools. At this point, LGB Chairs provide the City’s Education Unit with information regarding skills requirements. Whilst many of the skills requirements were covered by current governors, there was generally a lack of diversity which needed addressing.

·         Item 7/2020/P related to the work of the Tomlinson Review which was ongoing.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
