RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 

That the Executive:

 

a)     
Noted the completed sequence of events that are
contractually required to appoint a Non-Executive Director of the
Northamptonshire Children’s Trust Ltd;

 

b)     
Noted and takes into account in its decision-making,
the response from the Secretary of State;

c)     
Agreed the nomination for appointment of Joshua
Coleman as the representative for North Northamptonshire Council as
Non-Executive Director of Northamptonshire Children’s Trust
Ltd

 
 

Reasons for Recommendations:
 
·      
The recommendations in this report are presented to
Executive following a full and thorough recruitment and selection
process. The selected candidate is considered the most suitable
candidate for the position based on his experience.
·      
The composition of the board of the Trust requires
that there are four NEDs on the Board of the Trust, two of which
are nominated by North Northamptonshire Council and two by West
Northamptonshire Council; the recommendations support compliance
with this requirement on behalf of North Northamptonshire
Council.

 

Alternative Options Considered: The role of the Board of the
Trust is critical in supporting it to achieve its objectives for
the benefit of the residents of North Northamptonshire. For the
Board to be most effective it is important that all of its
positions are filled. It is not recommended that the Council should
decide not to appoint to the vacant NED member of the
Board.
