Issue - meetings

To appoint members of the sub-committees, working groups, panels, boards and joint committees.

Consideration was given to a report on the committee’s appointments to the Corporate Parenting Committee, Local Authority School Governor Appointments Sub-Committee and the Cheshire East Health and Wellbeing Board. The names of Members to be appointed to these bodies would be confirmed following the meeting.

It was noted that the report contained an error on the political proportionality of the Corporate Parenting Committee and that the report should instead read as: Con:5; Lab:4; Ind: 3; Lib Dem: 0; R. Ind: 0; NGI:0

It was agreed that the Liberal Democrat Member who previously sat on the Corporate Parenting Committee would remain on the committee as an associate, non-voting member.

It was agreed that a joint working group would be established with the Adults and Health Committee which would comprise three members of each committee on an ad hoc, voluntary basis to consider reports and matters that crossed the remits and responsibilities of both committees.

RESOLVED –

1.    That the Children and Families Committee appoints members to the Corporate Parenting Committee as follows: Con:5; Lab:4; Ind:3; Lib Dem:0; R. Ind:0; NGI:0

2.    That the Children and Families Committee appoints the Local Authority School Governor Appointments Sub-Committee with a membership of 5; the proportionalities being as follows: Con:2; Lab:2; Ind:1; Lib Dem:0; R. Ind:0; NGI:0

3.    That the Children and Families Committee nominates one member to the Cheshire East Health and Wellbeing Board
