The Appointments Sub-Committee of Hackney Council is scheduled to convene on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. The meeting's agenda includes the consideration of previous minutes and the shortlisting phase for a key executive director role.

Recruitment of the Permanent Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Integrated Health

A significant item scheduled for discussion is the recruitment of the Permanent Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Integrated Health. The report pack indicates that this will involve the shortlisting phase for this important position. The report itself is designated as exempt, meaning that the press and public are likely to be excluded from this part of the meeting. This is due to the potential disclosure of exempt business, as defined by the Local Government Act 1972¹.

Unrestricted Minutes of the Previous Meeting

The committee is scheduled to review the unrestricted minutes from its previous meeting held on 5 August 2026. These minutes, available in the document 5 August 2026 Draft Unrestricted Minutes, will be presented for noting.

Questions to the Committee

The agenda also allows for questions to be put to the committee. Councillors, as well as members of the public who live, work, or study in the Borough of Hackney, have the opportunity to submit questions in advance to governance@hackney.gov.uk. The Chair may, at their discretion, allow questions to be asked without prior notice, though a full answer may not be possible at the meeting, with a written response to follow.
