How committees work

Working bodies of the Council.

Committees research issues, develop proposals, carry out approved activities and report progress to the Executive and wider Council. Council-wide commitments, public statements, finance, external partnerships and safeguarding-related matters require the appropriate approval before implementation.

Expected committee practice

Set objectives • assign tasks • maintain brief records • submit progress updates • encourage broad participation • escalate risks early • operate within Council authority.
