The Staff Appeals Committee of Middlesbrough Council met on 3 September 2025, to discuss a staff appeal. The meeting was scheduled to begin with introductions and a review of the fire evacuation procedure.

Here's what was on the agenda:

Staff Appeal Case AD/12/24

The committee was scheduled to discuss a staff appeal case with the reference AD/12/24. The agenda indicated that the committee would review pages 5-106 of the case file.

Exclusion of Press and Public

The committee was scheduled to consider a resolution to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion of the staff appeal case. This resolution was to be made under Section 100A (4) Part 1 of the Local Government Act 1972¹. The reason cited for the exclusion was that the presence of the press and public would lead to the disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1, of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.
