Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Safety and Communities introduced her report, which will be shared with key members of staff at the council, and with Councillors Chelin and Harman, who are advocates for safeguarding and domestic abuse. She said assistance will be available not only for staff but also for councillors should they need it, and gave assurance that any matter would be completely confidential under the terms of the policy.
The Leader commented on the importance of this type of policy, supporting staff and councillors, to ensure people feel safe and understand that the council won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour.
