Report of the Town Clerk.

Governors noted a report of the Town Clerk which outlined the City Corporation’s obligations in relation to disclosure and barring service requirements for chairmen and governors on boards of the City’s independent schools, academies and its one maintained school.

The Chairman encouraged those governors who had not yet received their DBS certificates to contact the HR Section of the Town Clerk’s Department who would be able to assist them to do so. The Chairman undertook to request the Director of HR to submit a short report to the next meeting providing guidance in simple terms on the steps to be taken to obtain the necessary clearance and to request that he receive a report from the Director on the situation on a regular basis.
