Strategic Work Programme
Our strategic work programme, which was agreed in 2022, sets out the our approach for the remainder of the Senedd term. The programme will inform the annual reviews of the Determination as well shaping a new Determination for the Seventh Senedd, set in the context of proposed Senedd Reform.
The Strategic Work Programme includes five thematic reviews, each coordinated by a lead Board member:
- Ways of Working – Sir David Hanson
- Simplification – Hugh Widdis
- Staffing Support – Mike Redhouse
- Support for Political Parties’ Allowance – Jane Roberts
- Members’ Remuneration and Personal Support – Elizabeth Haywood.
Ways of Working
This review, led by Sir David Hanson on behalf of the Board, is focused on identifying how Members’ allowances should evolve to accommodate changes to Members’ ways of working, in particular the Office and Constituent Liaison Fund.
Determination Allowances - Home and Hybrid Working
Simplification
This review, led by Hugh Widdis on behalf of the Board, is to simplify the Determination and provide flexibility for Members to determine their own priorities with proportionate safeguards, in co-operation with the Senedd Commission.
