Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk concerning the annual review of the Terms of Reference.

The following points were noted:

• A typo was noted in the subject heading of the report, which should refer to the Community and Children's Services Committee, not the Audit Risk Management Committee.
• A request was made by officers to rename the Safeguarding Sub-Committee to the "Safeguarding and SEND Sub-Committee." This was agreed in principle by Members.
• A discussion was held regarding the management of the Old Gate Pavilion and its alignment with the committee's functions, particularly considering a current planning appeal. Officers agreed to take the matter offline.

RESOLVED – That Members,

a)     Agree in principle to change the name of the Safeguarding Sub-Committee to the "Safeguarding and SEND Sub-Committee."

b)     Agree that the terms of reference of the Community & Children’s Services Committee, subject to any comments, be approved for submission to the Court of Common Council in April, and that any further changes required in the lead up to the Court’s appointment of Committees be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.
