The Appointments & Disciplinary Committee of Croydon Council was scheduled to meet on Thursday 15 February 2024. The meeting's agenda indicated that the primary focus would be on a senior staffing matter, with discussions planned for both public (Part A) and private (Part B) sessions.

Senior Staffing Matter

The committee was scheduled to consider a senior staffing matter, which was detailed in two parts. The report concerning this matter was classified as containing exempt information, meaning that the press and public were to be excluded from this part of the meeting. The grounds for this exclusion were stated as relating to information about an individual's terms and conditions of employment, and that the public interest in withholding disclosure outweighed the public interest in disclosure. The report was prepared by Gillian Bevan, Head of HR, Resources and ACE Directorates, and the lead member for this item was Mayor Jason Perry, who also chaired the committee. The report indicated that the discussion would involve a Review of Chief Executive and Head of Paid Service Pay .¹
