Committee Meeting Agenda, Minutes and Action Log

About this document

What it’s for

Good minutes are the group’s memory and its evidence of how decisions were made. Funders, auditors, banks and – if there is ever a dispute – members may ask to see them. This template keeps agendas consistent, records decisions and declarations of interest clearly, and tracks actions so nothing is forgotten.

When to use it

  • For every committee and sub-group meeting
  • For decisions made by email between meetings
  • To track actions from meeting to meeting

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Agenda
  • Part 2 – Minutes
  • Part 3 – Decision made by email
  • Part 4 – Action log

How to complete it

  • Send the agenda with papers at least [seven] days before
  • Record who was present, any conflicts, the decisions and who will do what by when
  • Circulate draft minutes within [two] weeks and approve them at the next meeting

Key points to check

  • Minutes should record decisions and reasons, not every word said
  • Keep signed minutes safely – they are a permanent record

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
