Agenda item

The report updated members on work priorities and engagement figures for the 2018/19 Highlighting Political and Managerial Leadership Offer.

Members were asked to note the progress so far and, to align with the key objective of increasing exposure of NGDP to councils, appoint an “NGDP champion”.

In the discussion, the following points were raised:

-          The importance of better representation for under-represented groups. There has been a focus on bringing more woman into leadership positions via specific training and women’s leadership programmes

-          That it would be helpful to have a breakdown of the diversity amongst the NGDP programme participants.

Decision:

-          The Improvement and Innovation Board noted the work update.

Action:

-          Officers to provide a breakdown of the NGDP diversity data.
