The Interim Deputy Chief Executive and Strategic Director, Law and Governance, introduced a report on the appointment of a Church representative (Roman Catholic) and a Parent Governor (Secondary) representative to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Nominations to fill the vacancies were sought by Governance Services in September 2021 which resulted in one application for the Church Representative (Roman Catholic) position and two applications for the Parent Governor (Secondary) position. The Roman Catholic Church re-nominated Glenda Spencer to fill its position, which had been held by the nominee in various forms since 2005. Following an election for the Parent Governor (Secondary) position, Sarfraz Akram was nominated on behalf of parent governors.

The Assembly resolved to agree the appointment of the following nominees to their respective co-optee positions on the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, for a term of four years:

· Glenda Spencer: Church Representative (Roman Catholic); and

· Sarfraz Akram: Parent Governor (Secondary).
