The Personnel Board of Barking and Dagenham Council was scheduled to convene on Tuesday 9 September 2025. The meeting's agenda included private business concerning staff appeals, with the primary focus being an appeal against dismissal.

Appeal Against Dismissal

A significant item scheduled for discussion was an appeal against dismissal. The report pack indicated that this item was to be considered in the private session of the meeting, as it relates to individual members of staff and is exempt from public disclosure under the Local Government Act 1972. The report pack contained documentation related to this appeal, spanning pages 5 to 104. The specific details of the appeal and any recommendations were not made public.

Urgent and Confidential Items

The agenda also included provisions for any urgent public items that the Chair, Councillor Regina Rahman, might decide to bring forward. Additionally, the board was scheduled to consider whether to exclude the public and press from the remainder of the meeting due to the sensitive nature of the business to be transacted. Any other confidential or exempt items that the Chair deemed urgent were also listed for potential discussion.

The meeting was scheduled to take place in the Council Chamber at the Town Hall, Barking¹.
