Meeting documents

To consider this report.

The Committee considered this report that set out proposed amendments to the Member Appeals Procedure.  The amendments were generally minor and mainly relate to clarification of responsibilities.  The only significant change related to the re-ordering of the procedure so that to the employee or their representative set out their grounds for appeal first.

There was a brief discussion of the proposed changes and it was explained that a letter to the appellant would provide reasons for the decision and a full note of the meeting (not verbatim but approved by both parties) would be provided to enable understanding and enable further action. Appellants would also be provided with the policy in advance to ensure they understood how the process worked.

The Committee unanimously agreed the amendments in their entirety.
