Report by Director of Law and Assurance.
The Committee is asked to agree to ask the County Council to amend the Standards Committee’ terms of reference to include a delegation to receive reports from and review the recommendations of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman in any instance where it is proposed that the recommendations are not accepted and to make a final decision on the County Council’s response.
The Ombudsman has recently asked the County Council to review its decision to not accept the recommendations, so it was timely to enable Governance Committee to consider this delegation prior to County Council on 19 July 2019.

18.2 Paragraph 2.3 of the report set out a proposed addition to the terms of reference of the Standards Committee as follows:
‘18. To receive reports from and review the recommendations of the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman in any instance where it is proposed that the recommendations are not accepted and to make a final decision on the County Council’s response.’
18.3 Resolved - That the County Council be asked to amend the Standards Committee’s terms of reference to include the additional paragraph set out in minute 18.2 above.
