Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Deputy Town Clerk together with an updated Information Technology Policy.

The Committee received and considered an updated Information Technology Policy for approval by the Council.

Although the Council already had IT policies, they were in need of review and, in line with changes to the annual governance and accountability return, it was timely to review them in line with these requirements based on sector guidance with technological advice from the Council’s IT provider.

Members welcomed the policy, noting that it covered both Councillors and employees and was very robust in nature.

Resolved:

That, the revised Information Technology Policy be agreed and adopted by Witney Town Council and reviewed after twelve months.
