Policy Framework
The Council adopts a series of policies and strategies as its Policy Framework. “Policy Framework” documents set the policies within which decisions are made on behalf of the Community by Executive decision makers (including the Leader, Cabinet and its sub-committees, Area Committees, the Health and Wellbeing Board and officers exercising delegated powers) and the Council Committees and officers exercising Regulatory Powers (Planning and Licensing). Policies and Strategies that are required to have the approval of Full Council (a meeting of all Council members) are shown in bold. Strategies that are not shown in bold are approved by the Executive (the Leader or a body or individual to whom the Leader has delegated the relevant powers) or the relevant statutory Partnership Body to which they relate (eg the Business Plans of the City Safeguarding Boards):
