The Committee has four Co-Opted Members, including two Parent Governor Representatives, and representatives from both the Church of England and Roman Catholic Church. Representatives from Youth Cabinet also informally attend the meeting to participate and give a voice on matters relating to young people in Thurrock. This meeting is open to the public, although in considering some items of business, the press and public may be requested to leave the meeting.
