Issue - meetings

To consider the Assessment Criteria for use by the Assessment Sub-Committee and any issues which have arisen as part of the local assessment process to date.

Members considered the Assessment Criteria for use by the Assessment Sub-Committee.  It was noted that the criteria had been tweaked by individual sub-committees as the process of local assessment had evolved and that further changes could be made to this in the future, as appropriate.  A slight amendment to the running order of the questions was agreed, with question 9 to appear before questions 7 and 8.  

Both Members and officers agreed that the local assessment process so far had been very successful, particularly in view of the fact that all of the cases which had been referred to the Standards Board had been accepted.

RESOLVED that, subject to the amendment detailed in the preamble above, the Assessment Criteria be noted and approved.
