The Personnel Board is scheduled to convene on Monday 2 November 2026. The meeting's agenda indicates that the board will consider an appeal against dismissal. The board will also determine whether to exclude the public and press from parts of the meeting due to the sensitive nature of the business.

Appeal Against Dismissal
