Engagement of children and young people - Caerphilly County ...

To engage with children and young people, Caerphilly has established a Junior Forum (ages 7 to 11) and a Youth Forum (ages 11 to 25). Though not entirely a new concept, there are few examples of such forums in Wales. They provide an opportunity for children and young people to engage with and directly influence the Council's governance, planning and decision-making process. This engagement also means that children and young people's needs can be reflected in service delivery. It is also a way of contributing to the active citizenship of children and young people.

Member Area Groups - Denbighshire County Council

Denbighshire County Council has established Member Area Groups (MAGs) which provide on-going engagement and dialogue with communities at grass roots level. Although still in their infancy, MAGS offer the only opportunity for Elected Members to collectively discuss issues on a geographic basis. This consultation means that community feedback could directly influence the scrutiny arrangements of the Authority and partnerships.

Caerphilly County Borough Council - Audit of Accounts 2012-1...

This report is issued in the public interest under Section 22 of the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004. I have issued this report to draw the public’s attention to a failure in governance arrangements and inadequacies in the processes adopted by Caerphilly County Borough Council to determine the pay of chief officers. As a result of such failures the Council has, in my view, acted unlawfully with regards to this pay-setting process.

Consultant Contract in Wales: Progress with Securing the Int...

This report summarises the findings from our local work to present a view of how the amended consultant contract is being implemented across Wales. The overall conclusion from our work is that all the intended benefits are not being achieved largely because the amended contract has not been underpinned by effective job planning.
