The Committee considered a report explaining that the Constitution of the Council set out the role of the LJF and that this was reviewed regularly. The membership of the LJF had been amended at the LJF meeting on 6 June 2024 (Minute 6 refers) in respect of Trade Union membership and quoracy and at the meeting on 8 October 2024 Councillor quoracy had been confirmed (Minute 4 refers).

At the meeting of LJF in June 2024 the list of unions to be represented at meetings had been amended to reflect changes since the last review and a list of the unions who were represented at LJF was set out in the report. At the meeting it had been agreed that the quoracy for Trade Unions attendance should be three in total and the quoracy requirement for Councillors should remain at three, which matched the Trade Unions.

Resolved:       That the proposals for Union and Councillor Membership of the Local Joint Forum be noted.
