Due to the confidential nature of some items, the press and public may have been excluded from certain parts of the meeting.

Senior Recruitment: Strategic Director Community Wellbeing

The committee was scheduled to discuss the senior recruitment for the Strategic Director Community Wellbeing. This discussion was listed as Part 2 on the agenda and included a report pack spanning pages 1-9 of the public reports pack.

The agenda indicated that the press and public may be excluded from this portion of the meeting because it was expected to include exempt information:

1. Information relating to an individual
2. Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual

Appendix 1 of the public reports pack was also marked as exempt from publication under the Local Government Act 1972¹.
