Public Access

The North Yorkshire Schools Forum is involved in the decision making process surrounding the use of public money at a local level and as such we have to ensure that proceedings are subject to public scrutiny.

Forum meetings are therefore public meetings.

Members of the public are welcome to attend and listen to the discussions of the North Yorkshire Schools Forum. As observers, members of the public are not able to contribute to the discussion nor to vote on any issues requiring a vote.

If you wish to attend a Schools Forum meeting, it would be appreciated if you could contact the Clerk, Andrea Mansfield (andrea.mansfield@northyorks.gov.uk) in advance to ensure that we can accommodate you comfortably and so  keep disruption to the proceedings to a minimum.  If you require extra help to enable you to attend, for example, because of a disability, we would ask that you contact us as early as possible so that we can try to arrange the necessary support you require.

Attendance of the public is managed by the Chair and they may motion for the public to be excluded from the meeting for items marked as confidential and which involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.
