The Appointments Sub Committee of Havering Council was scheduled to meet on Wednesday 29 April 2026 to discuss a key appointment within the council's adult safeguarding department. The meeting's agenda focused on a single substantive item: the appointment to the post of Assistant Director - Adults Safeguarding.

Appointment to Assistant Director - Adults Safeguarding

The primary item scheduled for discussion was the appointment to the significant role of Assistant Director - Adults Safeguarding. The report pack provided to attendees contained detailed information regarding this appointment, however, this information was not available to the press or the public. The report was prepared by Zena Smith, Head of Committee & Elections Services. The agenda indicated that this item would be discussed in private, with the potential exclusion of the public due to the likely disclosure of exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972.
