Minutes:
Decisions:
1.
That Rule 2 of the Contract
Procedure Rules be suspended with regards to the continued appointment of E.L;
2.
That the Head of Adult
Services be granted delegated authority to extend the contractual arrangements
with Highbroom Consultancy – Alder Advice in respect

Care Services.
Reason
for Decisions:
To
ensure appropriate expertise and knowledge are in place to lead and manage the
Directorate through the significant improvements required in relation to
service delivery and budget reduction and to allow for an appropriate
transition period for any permanent appointment to the substantive post or any
Senior Management re-structures to be fully considered due to the significant
recruitment and retention issues experienced in filling the position, and as a
consequence this will aid the Council in securing and retaining the services of
suitably qualified, highly skilled and experienced people who are essential to
the delivery of improved Adult’s Services.
Implementation of Decisions:
The
decision will be implemented after the three day call in period.
