Background:

 

This report provided a review of Cabinet Advisory Groups. As well as asking the Cabinet to agree to the re-establishment of the Groups for 2022/23, the report proposed the establishment of two new Advisory Groups, the High Needs Block Recovery Advisory Group and the Medway Youth Justice Partnership. Details of these were set out in appendices 8 and 9 to the report.

 

The report noted that Cabinet Advisory Groups did not have any decision-making powers and could consist of both executive and non-executive Councillors.

 

An addendum report was tabled at the meeting which corrected a typographical error at paragraph 8.3 of the report and provided an updated Appendix 1 with some membership amendments. A further update was made at the meeting, replacing Councillor Thompson with Councillor Potter on the membership list for the Corporate Parenting Board.
