Agenda item

The Council noted a joint report of the Corporate Director of Resources and Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services regarding a decision made by Chief Officers under urgency provisions contained in the Council’s Constitution (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor R Bell asked what the position was of teaching assistants who had already accepted new terms and conditions.  The Corporate Director of Resources replied that an update on the position of these teaching assistants would be provided shortly.

Councillor Watson asked whether the joint review of the role, functions, job descriptions and activity of teaching assistants was a re-opening of Job Evaluation.  The Corporate Director of Resources replied that the joint review would be within the parameters of not reopening the single status agreement and therefore was not Job Evaluation.

Councillor Temple welcomed the report and asked what plans there were to keep Members informed of movements and changes.  The Corporate Director of Resources replied that the Project Board had met three times to date and consideration was being given to how to keep members updated.
