To approve the Draft Charitable Street Collections Policy (report of the Head of Public Protection enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of the Head of Public Protection which sought the approval of a Charitable Street Collections Policy.

The Head of Public Protection introduced the report which formalised local requirements regarding the Police, Factories, etc (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1916. The legislation does not require a formal policy to be adopted but the policy enabled a transparent and consistent approach while also protecting the general public.

One response had been received to the consultation relating to the use of animals to support collections. The Policy had been amended to reflect that animals were not permitted to be used to support collections.

AGREED:

That the Charitable Street Collections Policy be approved.
