Exclusion of the Public and the Public Interest Test To consider whether it is in the public interest to exclude the public during consideration of agenda item 5 (Appeal 261) which contains information “not for publication” by virtue of the categories set out in the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended). Minutes: RESOLVED – That the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of agenda item 4 to prevent disclosure of information relating to an individual. It would not, on balance, be in the public interest to disclose this information to the public because disclosure of the personal information would not be fair to the appellant and therefore be in breach of Data Protection regulations. |

Appeal A261 To consider a grievance appeal from an employee of Services to People.
This item is confidential and has been circulated to Councillors only. Minutes: The Committee considered a grievance appeal from an employee in the Services to People Directorate. The appellant and their representative attended the meeting and presented their case.
RESOLVED – The Committee considered the grievance appeal, presentation and the written documentation that was submitted and heard Management’s response. Having listened to all that was said and having read the documentation, the Committee decided that, following a thorough investigation by Management, the appeal be upheld.
The Committee found that the Personal Development Review (PDR) process had not been followed, which stemmed from Management not ensuring that the PDR document was ‘signed off’ by the employee. The Committee agreed that the two specific paragraphs identified in the documentation needed to be removed from the PDR document.
In light of these factors the Committee upheld the appeal. |
