The Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator introduced the draft Forward Work Programme and reported that there had been no changes to the items listed since the last meeting.  The actions arising from the last meeting had been completed as shown at Appendix 2 of the report.  The Chief Officer (Education & Youth) provided an update on the joint meeting held between Education & Youth and Social Services officers, where it had been agreed that a report on bringing health and social care staff together to provide intensive assessment and therapeutic support for young people who don’t meet the threshold for CAMHS be presented to the joint meeting of the Education, Youth & Culture and Social & Health Care Overview & Scrutiny Committees, scheduled for 17 June, 2021.

            In response to a question from Mr. David Hytch, the Facilitator reported that the Theatr Clwyd Shadow Board had met on 18 November to consider that the trade union have a representative on the Board.  Liam Evans-Ford had confirmed that the Board had not agreed to progress this at this time but would re-consider this suggestion at a later date. 

The recommendations outlined within the report were moved by Councillor Paul Cunningham and seconded by Councillor Tudor Jones.
