This provision allows for the exclusion of the public when discussing confidential information pertaining to individual staff members. The agenda frontsheet indicates the board will consider a resolution to formally exclude the public and press due to the confidential nature of the items listed under Private Business

Cllr Regina Rahman, who also serves as the Labour Group Secretary, will chair the meeting. Also expected to attend are Cllr Muazzam Sandhu, Deputy Chair of the Personnel Board, and Cllr Victoria Hornby, Deputy Leader of the Minority Group.
