Issue - meetings

Cabinet notes the recent IPCO inspection findings, at Appendix 1, and notes the council’s use of the powers available in the last 3 years and agrees the proposed amendments to the policy as attached at Appendix 2.

The council was required to have a up to date policy, and this had been reviewed and updated in 2020. It was noted that the powers available had only been used once in the previous three years in relation to a benefit fraud case.

Consideration was given to the report which sought the Cabinet’s approval to note the recent Investigatory Powers Commissioners Office inspection and to agree the proposed amendments to the policy. No comments or questions were raised, and the report was noted.

RESOLVED:

THAT the recommendations be noted.
