Dear Morag
Thank you for your information request dated 14th October 2010.
Could you please send copies of minutes for each of the team meetings for each
area given on your website (i.e. participation, policy, communication, corporate
services)? Can I have them for the period April 2010 to date?
No minuted team meetings were held in respect of Participation during this period.
Please find attached to this response minutes for the policy team for meetings held
in April, June, July, August and September 2010. A meeting was held in May,
however this was solely to discuss potential consultation responses, and no minute
was taken.
The Communications function in the Commissioner’s Office is undertaken by one
member of staff and as such does not hold team meetings.
No team meetings were held in respect of Corporate Services during this period.
The Corporate Services team consists of the Office Manager and the Receptionist.
The Office Manager has monthly supervision meetings with the Receptionist to
discuss workload and work plans. Minutes of these meetings are kept, however,
they form part of the Receptionist’s confidential personnel file.
I hope this information is helpful, however, if you are not satisfied with this response, you are
entitled in the first instance to request a review of the decision made by Scotland’s Commissioner
for Children and Young People. Should you wish to request a review, please write to Scotland’s
Commissioner for Children and Young People at the above address within 40 working days of
receiving this response. When making a request for review can you please give your name, an
address for correspondence (this can be an email address), and details of your original request
and say why you want a review. Once informed of Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and
Young People’s decision, if you are stil not satisfied, then you are entitled to apply to the Scottish
