To consider the applications for this post.

The Head of HR and Organisational Development outlined the background to this post within the Department of Adult Social Services and informed the meeting of the urgency involved in recruiting to the post.

The Sub-Committee considered which of the 7 candidates should be long listed for the next stage of the selection process for the post of Head of Safeguarding and Care Governance.

It was suggested that as the appointment of a Director of Children’s Services would now be at a later date, the final selection stage and interviews for the Head of Safeguarding and Care Governance post could be brought forward if all those officers involved in the process were available.

Resolved –

(1)  That the following 3 candidates be long listed for the next stage of the selection process – candidate numbers, 3, 4 and 6, and, subject to the agreement of those officers involved, the final selection stage and interviews be brought forward.

(2)  That this Sub-Committee meets at 6.00pm on Thursday 28 June, 2012, for the next stage of the selection process, shortlisting.
