That the Forward Work Programme be updated accordingly.

The Facilitator introduced a report to enable the Committee to consider the Forward Work Programme.  The following actions were agreed:

·         The Quarter 4/Year End Improvement Plan Monitoring Report to be deferred from July to the September meeting to enable the relevant officers to attend.

·         The agenda for the July meeting to include an item to populate the Forward Work Programme of the Committee, including items such as the Flintshire Local Voluntary Council discussed earlier in the meeting.

·         The items on the Corporate Parenting Strategy and Fostering Strategy scheduled for the September meeting to include the presentations previously given to the Children’s Services Forum.

·         The item on Repeat Referrals in Children’s Services for the September meeting to report progress on actions arising from the inspection along with future challenges.

·         Arrangements for the site visits to the Dementia Café and Safeguarding team to be circulated to the Committee.

·         Confirmation to be sent by email to Members about the Climbie visits on 6 July 2016 at 1pm.

Councillors Christine Jones and David Wisinger gave a reminder of the forthcoming Pride of Flintshire Awards on 2 July 2016, adding that donations could still be made via Member Services.  When asked if feedback from the event would be reported to the July meeting, the Chief Officer said that a debriefing would take place with initial views shared at the Children’s Services Forum prior to further consideration.

Following a recent visit, Councillor Jones gave positive feedback on the quality of care provided at both Marleyfield and Croes Atti care homes.

Councillors David Mackie and David Wisinger both expressed their disappointment at the number of Members who were not in attendance at this meeting.  The Chairman suggested that this be relayed to Group Leaders.

RESOLVED:

That the Forward Work Programme be updated accordingly.
