Management Board
The Management Board takes responsibility, under the
aegis
of the Members,
for all of the Council's activities. 
They:
- lead
- direct and
- manage the London Borough of Redbridge and
- help others to do so.
The Management Board works closely with the Cabinet cycle and
meets every Thursday.
The work programme of the Management Board closely mirrors that
of the Cabinet with many of the items discussed at Board eventually
becoming Cabinet Reports. The officer parts of Cabinet
reports are signed off by the Management Board. The Board meets the
full Cabinet on a regular basis, and meets the Leader and Deputy
Leader weekly.
All the key strategies and plans of the Council are initially
discussed at the Board. The Board also deals with major or
difficult operational issues, particularly where more than one
department is involved; although the aim is to leave Directors, and
through them Heads of Service, as free as possible to manage the
day-to-day business of the Council.

Directors nominate a senior officer in their Management Team to
represent them at the Management Board if they are not able to
attend.
The Chief Executive, or the person he delegates as his Deputy if
he is on leave, chairs the Management Board. Ultimately the
authority of the Management Board arises from the authority of the
Chief Executive, as Head of the Paid Service, to give reasonable
instructions to any member of staff, senior or junior, within the
framework of policies agreed by the Cabinet and Council, and
subject to the law and best practice.
Decisions are of course normally reached by discussion and
consensus, taking into account the professional views of the heads
of department. The statutory Chief Finance Officer (the
Director of Finance and Resources) and the Council’s chief lawyer
and statutory Monitoring Officer (the Borough Solicitor and
Secretary) are key members of the team, as are the statutory
Director of Children’s Services and the statutory Director of Adult
Social Services (the Director of Housing and Community
Services).
