The Derbyshire Council Recruitment Panel is scheduled to meet on Friday, 14 November 2025, to conduct interviews for the position of Fixed Term Chief Executive. The meeting will begin with several standard items, before moving into a closed session to discuss the interviews.

Exclusion of the Public

The agenda for the meeting of the Recruitment Panel indicates that a motion will be put forward to exclude the public from the meeting during the discussion of the interviews for the post of Fixed Term Chief Executive.

The reason cited for this exclusion is that, according to Section 100(a)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the presence of the public would result in the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. The report pack states that:

the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Interviews for Fixed Term Chief Executive

The primary purpose of the meeting is to conduct interviews for the post of Fixed Term Chief Executive. The agenda notes that these interviews will take place during Part II of the meeting, which is not open to the public.
