Meeting documents

To discuss any items for the forthcoming work programme. To assist the discussion, the following documents are attached:

a) – The Cabinet’s latest published forward plan;

b) – Current Work Programme for the Committee;

c) – Outcome Tracker.

The Committee Chair explained the reports that make up the work programme agenda item and the importance the Committee should attach to planning its future work.

The Committee then considered and noted the Council’s Forward Plan of proposed key decisions in forthcoming months and items for consideration at future Cabinet meetings.

The Committee considered and agreed its own work programme and the future agenda items listed. The Chair raised the possibility of a task and finish group or something similar, whereby a few members of the Committee might work in tandem with a few members of the Audit Committee to review financial issues within Children’s Services and he undertook to make further enquiries and try to progress this outside of the meeting.

The Committee considered and noted its outcome tracker, and an update was requested on the suggestion of a ‘decision tree’ to help service users in SEN and the Clerk undertook to follow up on this previous outcome.
