It endorsed the draft terms of reference, made further comments, and agreed which partner bodies would sit on the committee as co-opted members. It agreed that the chair and vice chair arrangements would start in 2023/24 and that Rhondda Cynon Taf council would provide support for two years. It also agreed that all members of the committee would receive training.

Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
