Minutes:
The Chief Officer (Education and Youth) introduced the Quarter 1 Improvement Plan Monitoring Report for consideration. The report presented the monitoring of progress for the first quarter of 2015/16 focusing on the areas of under performance relevant to the Education and Youth Overview and Scrutiny Committee. Members were advised that detailed sub priority reports were appended to the report.
Councillor Mackie referred to the risks on page 54 and commented on the information that the number of school places would not be sufficient to meet future demands. The Chief Officer explained that the risk was attributable to the number of surplus places at schools.
Mr David Hytch commented on the use of Werrington Youth Offenders Institution (YOI) based in Staffordshire. The Chief Officer responded to the comments and said that very few young people were referred to the YOI and commented on the proactive working relationship between the Werrington YOI and the Authority’s Youth Offending Team.
RESOLVED:
That the report be noted.
