Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Harrow and are not the council. About us

The Chief Officers' Employment Panel of Harrow Council is scheduled to consider potential senior management restructures within two key departments. The panel will also discuss the appointment of a new Director of Children's Services.

Senior Management Restructure within Culture, Environment & Economy

The panel's agenda includes a report concerning a proposed senior management restructure within the Culture, Environment & Economy department. This report, prepared by the Strategic Director of Culture, Environment & Economy, is expected to outline proposed changes to the senior management structure of this division.

Housing and Regeneration Property Division Senior Management Restructure

A report from the Strategic Director of Housing and Regeneration is also scheduled for consideration, detailing a senior management restructure within the Housing and Regeneration Property Division. This discussion will focus on proposed changes to the leadership roles within this area of the council.

Appointment of the Director of Children's Services

A significant item on the agenda involves the appointment of a new Director of Children's Services. The panel will consider this appointment following the interview of shortlisted candidates. This discussion is scheduled to take place in Part II of the meeting, meaning the press and public will be excluded from this item. The report associated with this agenda item contains information relating to any individuals and is therefore considered exempt information under the Local Government Act 19721.


  1. The Local Government Act 1972 is a piece of UK legislation that governs the structure and functions of local government in England and Wales. It sets out the powers and duties of local authorities, including provisions for meetings and the handling of confidential information.
