Response by Head of Service: Thank you for your question of 4 January 2024. Powys County Council has not entered into any Non-Disclosure Agreements [NDAs] as such in the last 3 years. However, the Council does enter into Settlement Agreements under the provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The purpose of a Settlement Agreement is to settle an employee’s contractual and statutory claims on termination of employment. Most (if not all) Settlement Agreements include a confidentiality clause, including the ACAS template for Settlement Agreements (clause 8 - see https://www.acas.org.uk/sites/default/files/inline-files/settlement-agreement-template.docx). Thirteen Settlement Agreements have been concluded since January 2021.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
