Ordinary Meeting <strong>of</strong> Council - 25 May 2010 1 / 2 Item 1 S06339 17 May 2010 PURPOSE OF REPORT To establish the Ku-ring-gai Council Internal Ombudsman Guidelines. This report recommends that Guidelines for the Office <strong>of</strong> the Internal Ombudsman <strong>be</strong> adopted. BACKGROUND As part <strong>of</strong> the need <strong>to</strong> promote the principles <strong>of</strong> accessibility, fairness, accountability and effectiveness for the position <strong>of</strong> Internal Ombudsman, it is important <strong>to</strong> establish guidelines for the position. The Guidelines set out the role and functions <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> carried out by the Internal Ombudsman. The attached guidelines have <strong>be</strong>en modelled on guidelines adopted for the position <strong>of</strong> Internal Ombudsman at Sutherland Shire Council, Warringah Council and Wollongong City Council. The Guidelines for Ku-ring-gai Council Office <strong>of</strong> the Internal Ombudsman have <strong>be</strong>en <strong>be</strong>fore Council for adoption on three previous occasions since June 2006. A decision was deferred on two occasions and on 5 February 2008, Council referred the draft guidelines <strong>to</strong> the then Policy Forum for further review. The current Internal Ombudsman has checked past records and located the minutes <strong>of</strong> the Policy Forum <strong>meeting</strong> <strong>of</strong> 31 March 2008, which discussed the Internal Ombudsman Guidelines. Those minutes indicate discussion on Clauses 11, 7.2 and 8.5 – however the detail <strong>of</strong> those discussions were not apparent. COMMENTS The current internal ombudsman has recently reviewed the draft guidelines and above clauses and in particular has re-worded clause 8.5 in relation <strong>to</strong> Adverse Findings as a result <strong>of</strong> an investigated party exercising their right <strong>to</strong> remain silent when questioned. The other clauses mentioned above appear <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> reasonable and contemporary when compared <strong>to</strong> similar policy in other Local Government Organisations. The Guidelines are required <strong>to</strong> give effect <strong>to</strong> the position <strong>of</strong> Internal Ombudsman. Once the Guidelines are adopted, it is proposed that the Guidelines <strong>be</strong> made available <strong>to</strong> any person dealing with the Office <strong>of</strong> the Internal Ombudsman. CONSULTATION The General Manager has reviewed the Guidelines and discussed their content with the Internal Ombudsman. The General Manager is satisfied with the content <strong>of</strong> the Guidelines. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS Not applicable N:\100525-OMC-SR-00756-KURINGGAI COUNCIL INTERNA.doc/mlangereis/2
