The Chief Officers' Employment Panel of Harrow Council met on Wednesday 24 April 2024. The meeting was held in private to discuss confidential matters relating to severance packages.

Severance Packages

The panel met in private session to consider severance packages exceeding £100,000. Two reports were presented to the panel, one from the Managing Director and another from the Corporate Director of Place, both detailing severance packages of £100,000 or greater. These discussions were held under Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the press and public when confidential or exempt information is likely to be disclosed. This information relates to individuals and the financial affairs of particular persons, including the authority.

The agenda for this meeting indicated that the panel would be considering approval of remuneration packages over £100,000 following a restructuring of People Services Senior Management posts. This follows a previous meeting on 20 March 2024, where the panel approved a severance payment of greater than £100,000. The details of the specific severance packages discussed and any decisions made at the 24 April 2024 meeting are not publicly available due to the confidential nature of the agenda items.
