Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Roberts introduced the report which sought approval to extend existing Families First funded prevention and support services for up to 12 months, subject to the Welsh Government (WG) approving further funding.  This would enable:

·         Ongoing provision of key services for Flintshire parents, young people and families with disabled children that benefitted most from early support to build resilience and well-being;

·         Effective operation of the Early Help Hub; and

·         Work with partners to evaluate, develop and commission prevention and support services for Flintshire children, young people and families.

Members fully supported the report and commented on critical early intervention which this service provided. 

RESOLVED:

That an extension, subject to Welsh Government approving further funding for a period of six months, with the option of a further six months if required, be approved.
