Animal Welfare Charter

Following discussion at the Overview and Scrutiny Business Panel on

February 14, Panel Members welcomed the updated Charter, and agreed to

make the following comments to Mayor and Cabinet:

i. The Business Panel believe that the fact that this policy was not reviewed

for many years shows that the Council should have a policy tracking system in

place to ensure timely and regular reviews of all policies.

The Mayor said given recent improvements to IT he would have a valid

expectation to use technology to track policies

ii. Whilst welcoming the new Animal Welfare policy the Business Panel would

like officers to explore signing up Council partners, particularly Lewisham

Homes and RSL.

The Mayor said it made perfect sense to contact other landlords and he

thanked officers for the work done so far in promoting the Animal Welfare

Charter.
