Minutes:

The report presented to the Committee gave an update on the Council’s Whistleblowing Policy which had been agreed in January 2020 but last reviewed in 2015. The document was updated and included newer contact details. The Committee noted that all new staff receive training on whistleblowing as part of the induction and updated training for managers had been rolled out. Members commented that the document gave residents and staff the confidence to contact relevant officers confidentially.

 

The Committee noted the report and approved the updated Confidential Reporting Policy.
