2. Scrutiny Committee
· 15th April 2024 (Recommendation Motion 564 Inclusion and Diversity to Full Council)
2. Recommendation: The findings strengthen the case for further experiential training for Chairs and Vice Chairs.
3. Recommendation: A change in rules to allow voting by online participants in a meeting improved access for some Councillors. This may be particularly relevant to improve the potential for parents or carers to attend, as well as those with mobility problems and those at the greatest distances, particularly in the evening. It would also reduce costs and carbon emissions. The Working Group noted that the Local Government Association had campaigned for this change. The Scrutiny Committee recommend that the Council advocate for this change and lobby the government to introduce it.
4. Recommendation: The Scrutiny Committee believed that the work of this Working Group had concluded and recommended that the subject of Inclusion and Diversity with regard to removing obstacles to becoming a Councillor be added to the Policy Framework or the Scrutiny Work Plan to be considered annually.
5. Recommendation: The Scrutiny Committee recommend that those considering standing for elections be warned about the unpredictable time demands for working with residents’ issues and Town & Parish Councils. This may be something for the Political Groups to consider.
