(a)     That the Forward Work Programme as amended, be approved;

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

            The Facilitator presented the Forward Work Programme which had been updated following the last meeting and was attached at Appendix 1.  The only alteration was the Child Poverty item which had been moved to the next meeting on 30^th January.  All actions arising from the previous meetings on the 7^th and 22^nd November had been completed and a letter had been sent to the Chief Executive of the Youth Justice Board with a copy emailed to Members of the Committee.  No response had been received as yet but this would also be circulated to Members.  She confirmed the actions following the Estyn inspection had been included on the forward work programme and that the comments on the performance reports raised by Councillor Mackie had been fed back to the Performance Team and that the actions and risks had been amended and would form part of future quarterly performance reports.

The recommendations within the report were moved by Mr David Hytch and seconded by Mrs Rebecca Stark.                              

RESOLVED:

(a)     That the Forward Work Programme as amended, be approved;

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