Members noted that it was positive that all staff in Foundry College and Northern House had now been vaccinated.

 

The Chairman asked that a date for the Briefing be identified in March, before the next meeting.

 

Members asked than ‘inclusion’ be included in the Diversity and Equality at Schools item.  Carol Cammiss suggested to add inclusion as an item later on in the year.  Members agreed with this approach and felt that it was important to gather data around diversity and equality issues in schools in order to monitor it.
