The Committee considered a report of the Director of Corporate Resources concerning progress made to date in relation to the review of Health, Safety and Wellbeing Services. A copy of the report, marked “E”, is filed with these minutes.

The Director reported that the Review had given rise to two voluntary redundancies and one compulsory redundancy. Positive feedback had been received from Head Teachers on the way in which the Review had been conducted.

A suggestion was made that it might be helpful to organise training in Health, Safety and Wellbeing for elected members.

RESOLVED:

(a)                           That the completion of the review of the Health, Safety and Wellbeing Service be noted and that the launch of the new Service, and the extensive work required to ensure that it is robust and fit for purpose, be supported;

(b)                           That the Head of Democratic Services be asked to explore the possibility of, and level of interest in, Health, Safety and Wellbeing training being provided for elected members.
