Issue - meetings

To receive and consider the attached report of the Director of Children’s Services.

10 mins (Council Function)

The Director of Children’s Services submitted a report regarding the 2007 review of the Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP).  The report provided a summary of the purpose, content and structure of the CYPP and highlighted the issues and concerns that were emerging through the evaluation work of services and partners.

The Chair Welcomed David McDermott of Children’s Services to the meeting.

In summary specific reference was made to the following issues:

• The review of the CYPP was being considered by all Area Committees as part of the consultation and engagement terms.
• The Review would be submitted to Ofsted for inspection in June 2007.
• Locality enablers would be appointed to each wedge across the City.
• Emerging priorities
• The development of locality plans

It was suggested that further consideration should be given to the CYPP at the December meeting of the Area Committee as a theme focus had not been agreed for that meeting. 

The Chair thanked David McDermott for his attendance.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
