Report of the Director of Human Resources.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Human Resources which sought approval of the updated IT Policy. The Chair raised the point that Members had disparate IT needs to officers, for example Members used social media channels, and should therefore have a separate IT Policy to be put before the Members’ Privileges Sub-Committee for approval.

A Member asked that the wording be amended within the Policy at paragraph six to “This policy shall be reviewed at regular junctures…”.

RESOLVED – That:

a)    the Committee approve the Acceptable Use of IT Policy for staff;

b)    a separate Acceptable Use of IT Policy for Members be provided to the Members Privileges Sub Committee; and

c)    the policy be sent to the Information Technology Sub (Finance) Committee for information.
