The Appointments & Disciplinary Committee of Croydon Council met on Thursday 24 September 2026. The meeting's agenda included discussions on the appointment of a permanent Chief Executive, as well as the review of minutes from previous meetings. A significant portion of the meeting was scheduled to be held in private session to discuss exempt information.

Appointment of Permanent Chief Executive

The committee was scheduled to consider progressing applications for the role of permanent Chief Executive. This followed a previous decision on 21 July 2026 to move forward with the recruitment process. A report detailing the position, role profile, and agreed salary package was made available to the committee. The process involved a national recruitment campaign, technical assessments, and partner panels, with the outcomes intended to inform the shortlisting for final panel interviews. The ultimate recommendation for this appointment was slated to be submitted to Full Council for approval on 21 October 2026.

Minutes of Previous Meetings

The committee was scheduled to review the minutes from previous meetings held on 10 and 14 September 2026. These minutes were divided into Part A (public) and Part B (confidential) sessions.

Exclusion of Press and Public

A motion was to be moved and seconded to exclude the press and public from the remainder of the meeting. This was proposed on the grounds that the subsequent items of business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information, as defined by the Local Government Act 1972.
