Councillor Kevin Hughes reported on a recent meeting he had attended in Cardiff following consideration of his notice of motion seeking support for First Aid Training in Schools with other organisations such as The Red Cross in attendance. Flintshire was the only local authority represented. The Group was created to ensure First Aid and Lifesaving Training was available in schools and it was hoped that CPR and Defibrillator training would also become compulsory. Councillor David Williams commented that in his school First Aid training already formed part of PSE sessions and said he was happy to provide members with information on what his school covered in this training.

Councillor David Mackie asked why the Child Poverty item had been moved back a cycle. In response the Chief Officer (Education & Youth) provided an update and explained that the draft Strategy was still being worked through and would be submitted to the next meeting in March, 2020.

The recommendations within the report were moved by Councillor Dave Mackie and seconded by Councillor Janet Axworthy.

RESOLVED:

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