as laid out in part 2, paragraph 6.13(a) of the council's constitution.
Action Review
The committee were scheduled to review the actions they had previously agreed to take, in particular an action to schedule a report on progress on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at Surrey County Council. This action arose from a previous commitment to receive regular updates on the subject, following a meeting on 9 September 2024.
Forward Work Programme
Councillors reviewed the committee's forward work programme, and were asked to note the items on it. Some of the items due to be discussed at future meetings include: an annual report on the use of interim and agency staff by the council, a review of the Officer Code of Conduct, a report on career development at the council, an update on progress on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), and a report on the final pay structure for Surrey County Council staff.
