To receive the Corporate Safeguarding Board Activity Report December 2024.

RESOLVE to exclude the public for the following items of business on the grounds that there would be disclosure to them of exempt information under categories 1, 2 & 3 of The Local Authorities (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007).    

The Monitoring Officer has determined that categories 1, 2 & 3 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules apply to the following items. His view on the public interest test (having taken account of the provisions of Rule 14.8 of the Council's Access to Information Rules) was that to make this information public would disclose information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).  

These factors in his view outweigh the public interest in disclosing this information. Members are asked to consider these factors when determining the public interest test, which they must decide when considering excluding the public from this part of the meeting.

To receive the Permenant Vs Agency Social Worker Rate Report.
