Discussion & approval of terms of reference (Paper 3)
For Chapter 2 (Purpose), it was agreed that further work is needed to incorporate:
-
Detail about success measures (could be linked to Chapter 9 around deliverables)
-
Further strengthen the purpose section in relation to diversity and representation, specifically relating to BME populations, disability, and young people, including 2d and 2e
-
Separate the last sentences of 2e and 2b to their own points
-
Determine how the term ‘young people’ is defined for the purposes of the board and if this should also be extended to including ‘children’. This is to ensure alignment with wider policies
-
Incorporate the potential of the board to have an impact at national & international level/engage work with a national/international focus
-
Outline that CLB is also there to provide provocations and challenge to the WMCA
Salla and Keziah to update Chapter 2 to incorporate the above.
