The meeting is scheduled to take place in the Council Chamber at the Town Hall, Barking, with a pre-meeting for councillors at 10:30 am and the main meeting commencing at 11:00 am. The members of the Personnel Board are Cllr Regina Rahman (Chair), Cllr Ingrid Robinson (Deputy Chair), and Cllr Ben Suter.

The agenda indicates that the board will consider whether to exclude the public and press from the remainder of the meeting due to the nature of the business to be transacted. This is in line with the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the public and press when confidential or sensitive information is to be discussed. The items scheduled for private business relate to individual members of staff and are exempt from publication under paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act.
