Frequency and organisation of meetings. The JCNC will meet once per term. Dates for meetings will be agreed in advance and will fall within the normal working hours of the School but outside of the timetabled teaching day. If there are no relevant topics for discussion from either side, the meeting may be cancelled. Should an urgent issue arise between meetings, either party can give 10 working days notice of a need to meet with the topic for discussion. A Clerk will be appointed who shall be responsible for liaising with all parties on matters such as dates of meetings, agreement of agendas and draft minutes, etc. The quorum for all meetings shall be 2 members of the School’s side and at least 2 members of the Trade Union side. All parties will strive to ensure that all diarised meetings are quorate.
