Proposed 2010/11 work plan and co-opted member for the Community Engagement and Citizen Focus Sub-committee

Report: 11
Date: 8 July 2010
By: Natasha Plummer on behalf of the Chief Executive

Summary

This report presents two recommendations proposed by the Community Engagement and Citizen Focus sub-committee at its meeting on 21 June 2010 for ratification by this committee.

A. Recommendation

That

1. members approve the 2010/11 work programme for the Community Engagement and Citizen Focus (CECF) sub-committee; and
2. members approve the co-option of Richard Hunt from the London Communities Policing Partnership (LCP2) to the sub-committee membership.

B. Supporting information

1. Each sub-committee is required to propose an annual work programme for approval by its parent committee. CECF most recently met on 21 June 2010 and it seemed opportune to consider its programme of work for the forthcoming year at that time, rather than await the next meeting, which will not take place until October 2010.

2. The proposed work programme is attached at appendix 1. It should be noted that this is a living document and may be subject to amendment throughout the committee year.

3. Members also gave consideration to the role of the co-opted member. The sub-committee thanked Richard Hunt for his constructive participation in the work of the committee, which has assisted the sub-committee by providing representation for those directly involved in the delivery of community and police engagement, and agreed that he should continue in that role in 2010/11.

C. Other organisational and community implications

1. Equalities Impact

The appointment of co-opted members enables committees to draw upon a wider range of independent expertise. By ensuring that there is independent view point discrimination is eliminated as part of the positive duty the MPA has under the GLA Act 1999 and the Race Relations (Amendment) Act and more recently the Disability Discrimination Act 2005).

2. Met Forward

There are no Met Forward implications arising from this report.

3. Financial Implications

Co-opted members are entitled to claim travel expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as a co-opted member. No claims were received from the co-opted member of CECF during the 2009/10 committee year. However, any potential costs will be based on attendance at bi-monthly meetings of the sub-committee and will therefore be minimal and contained within existing budgets.

4. Legal Implications

There are no legal implications arising from this report.

5. Environmental Implications

There are no environmental implications arising from this report.

6. Risk Implications

There are no risk implications arising from this report.

D. Background papers

None
