Issue - meetings

Council considered a report presented by Councillor Hales, Portfolio Holder for Performance and Corporate Governance which informed members of the use of the Whistleblowing Policy during 2025.

The Whistleblowing Policy was last reviewed by the Standards Committee on 10^th November 2025 with the number of Whistleblowing instances being reported to the Committee on 9^th February 2026.

It was confirmed that the two Whistleblowing instances had occurred and were included in Appendix 1 to the report. Due to the need to maintain confidentiality the whistleblowing complaints were anonymised and detailed so as not to reveal the identity of the complainant and member of staff complained about.

Moved by Councillor Hales and seconded by Councillor Moesby

          RESOLVED that the report be noted.
