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

The Chair of the Committee invited Members to consider the Cabinet’s Forward Plan of proposed key decisions in forthcoming months and suggest any items for the Committee to consider. The plan was noted.

The Chair directed attention to the Committee’s own work programme and invited suggestions for possible future agenda items.

The Vice Chair informed the Committee that the Task and Finish Group on School Exclusions had held several meetings and had begun collating information. It had decided that its review might take longer than originally thought, and he hoped that their final report would be provided at the April meeting.

It was agreed to bring the Elective Home Education update forward to the March meeting.

There was a brief discussion about ‘preventative work’ and it was agreed that the Chair, Vice Chair, and Mrs Tipper would meet to discuss a potential agenda item.

It was noted that the Outcome Tracker had been refreshed and updated and this was accepted.
