Minutes:
Abi
Phillips outlined the contents of the paper and asked Chairs to comment on the
effectiveness of CPD delivered to committees since May, their appetite for
further sessions and feedback on the facilitators used.
The
Llywydd expressed a wish for more support for Members in asking questions
noting that simply reading out prepared, suggested, questions was not
effective. More detailed questioning
techniques were needed to enhance scrutiny.
It
was noted that PAC had requested a follow-up session after the initial work
with Kate Faragher. They had received
candid feedback on earlier scrutiny sessions. The Committee had also agreed a
further session in 6 months’ time. It was agreed that officials would prepare
a note for chairs on how the PAC sessions had been run to enable them to
consider their wider application.

12-15 Paper 2 – CPD Review Findings
Supporting documents:
- Restricted enclosure 15
- Restricted enclosure 16
Minutes:
Carys Evans was welcomed to the
Management Board to discuss outcomes from the in-depth review into the CPD
programmed for the Fourth Assembly, carried out by the CPD team with Gareth
Watts. The review sought to learn lessons and make recommendations for the
future and included surveying Assembly Members to capture their views.
Overall Members were happy with
the provision and uptake levels were high, but there were challenges to address
in relation to effective evaluation of the impact of the CPD provided, ensuring
accountability with Members for their staff's training and that training
reached AMSS outside of Cardiff.
Management Board made the
following recommendations:
·
more time should be given to CPD, in particular, for committee Chairs;
the paper should draw from the draft Chairs' forum report;
·
more emphasis should be made of bilingualism - Carys Evans and Mair
Parry-Jones to discuss;
·
the CPD report and the following item (welcome and induction) should be
combined into one paper; and
·
Non Gwilym, Lowri Williams and Carys Evans to discuss external promotion
of how we provide our CPD programme.
The overall direction and outline
approach would be presented to Commissioners at their meeting on 21 October.
