Summary

The Recruitment Panel of Derbyshire Council met on 18 September 2025 to discuss the appointment of an interim Chief Executive. The meeting was scheduled to begin with standard housekeeping items before moving to exclude the public to discuss the appointment.

Exclusion of the Public

The agenda included a motion to exclude the public from the meeting, citing Section 100(a)(4) of the Local Government Act 19721. The reason given for the exclusion was that the discussion would involve exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

Interim Chief Executive

The main item on the agenda was to conduct interviews for the post of interim Chief Executive (Head of Paid Service).


  1. The Local Government Act 1972 is legislation that defines the structure and functions of local authorities in England and Wales. Section 100(a)(4) allows councils to exclude the public from meetings when confidential or exempt information is being discussed.
