(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and

(c)       That representatives of Barnardo’s and North East Wales Carers Information Service (NEWCIS) be invited to attend a future meeting to discuss the identification of young carers.

The Social & Health Overview and Scrutiny Facilitator presented the Forward Work Programme for consideration.  She advised that the item on Learning Disability Day Care and Work Opportunities Alternative Delivery Model had been considered at the meeting of the Organisational Change Overview & Scrutiny Committee held on 28 January 2018, and to avoid duplication of workload had been taken off the Forward Work Programme.  She reported that the next meeting of the Committee would be held on 28 March 2019, to consider the following items:

·         Q3 Council Plan monitoring

·         Marleyfield House expansion progress update

·         Delayed transfer of Care/Single Point of Access

A short session will be held at the rise of the meeting to consider the format of the Social Services Director’s Annual Report. 

The Senior Manager, Children and Workforce, explained that following discussion at a previous meeting of the Committee he had met with representatives of Barnardo’s and North East Wales Carers Information Service (NEWCIS) and suggested that representatives of both organisations be invited to attend a future meeting of the Committee to discuss the identification of young carers.
