I would like information about Wokingham Borough Councils access to resources panel please. This is the panel chaired by Jasmine Grimshaw. It deals with funding requests from social workers at Adopt Thames Valley, among other things I believe.

We are unable to supply the individuals details relating to qualification, training, time in post, and/or their CV as this would be personal data and exempt under Section 40. We can provide the panel make up and job titles. The panel consists of the following:
Team Manager - Finance
Team Manager - Operational Commissioning
Team Manager - Fostering

Please see attached TOR. The AD has oversight of the panel’s decision and if an agreement cannot be made it is escalated to the AD. There is no further documentation (other than the TOR provided).
