Verbal update on Task and Finish Group Progress

Decision:

Members noted the verbal update.

Minutes:

Officers provided a verbal update on the task & finish groups established by the committee in relation to Harassment, Abuse & Intimidation and Diversity in Democracy. The Handling Harassment, Abuse and Intimidation group held two workshops which generated discussion and tangible ideas to take forward. Officers advised members that due to the timing of the snap general election, it had not been possible to consider Diversity in Democracy within previously stated timescales. It was proposed that work would be undertaken to identify outcomes from the Harassment Abuse and Intimidation workshops, with the Diversity in Democracy workshops being re-arranged following council recess. It is anticipated that both groups will be concluded by autumn, when ideas will be reported to the committee and council.
