Lewis Silkin External Review into racism at the Barbican Centre PDF 156 KB Report of the Deputy Town Clerk and Chief Executive. Additional documents:
Minutes: The Board received a report of the Deputy Town Clerk and Chief Executive concerning the Lewis Silkin External Review into Racism at the Barbican Centre.
The Chair and Town Clerk summarised the context for the commissioning of Lewis Silkin Review and HR Audit. Members were informed that additional resources would go to the Barbican and the Interim Managing Directors were working to take forward the actions as it was important for them to be owned by the Centre with City Corporation oversight.
The Deputy Chair (statutory) read a statement on behalf of the Deputy Chair (External) who was happy that everything had been publicly published with full transparency and hoped to move forward more positively. The key issue remained HR, which was felt to have been underinvested to the detriment of the Barbican, .and the Town Clerk was asked what plans there were to invest in the City Corporation and Barbican’s HR Department.
The Town Clerk responded that the decision regarding additional funding needed to follow after the action plan was implemented. This consideration would need to be taken to the Establishment Committee and brought back to the Board. The Town Clerk encouraged the Board to support the Barbican’s HR Team in delivering the enormous task upon them.
The Deputy Chair read feedback by a Member unable to attend the meeting concerning the role of the Board to improve good governance, the need for more significant reference to the Board in the action plans and the need for the Board to take a central role in the governance of how they are taken forward including regular reports to the Board.
Members recognised there needed to be Board accountability and agreed they had not been as proactive, open and responsive as they should have been in the past. It was acknowledged |
