Reasons
 

1.   
To ensure that officers have sufficient agility in operational
decision making to embrace opportunities that may arise regarding
temporary staffing arrangements, that are likely to be beneficial
to both councils in terms of cost, efficiency and skills, whilst
retaining flexibility for any future longer-term arrangements
brought about through the Transformation and Collaboration
Programme. 

 

2.   
To ensure that there is a robust governance process around the
sharing of staff on an interim basis, including arrangements for
the sharing of costs, terminating any such agreements and resolving
any disputes in a fair and transparent manner.
