(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be noted;

(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 the Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions. 

The Community and Education Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme and drew attention to the items to be considered at the next meeting of the Committee.  She advised that the Chair had e-mailed all Members of the Committee to ask if they had any items for consideration on the Programme.  It was agreed that when items had been received, the Social Care and Environment Facilitator would liaise with the Chair and Senior Officers during the August recess to update the Programme and present a revised version to the next meeting of the Committee in September.

During discussion it was proposed that the following items be added to the Forward Work Programme:-

• presentation from Double Click (preferably before Christmas to allow Members to order products if they wished).
• NEWCIS – a site visit and report to a Committee meeting (it was suggested that the site visit be held the day before a Committee meeting).
• SPOA – November meeting.
• Nanny Biscuit – presentation from James Hunt on the work of Nanny Biscuit at a future meeting of the Committee.
• how to become a Micro Carer

The recommendations in the report were moved by Councillor Paul Cunningham and seconded by Councillor Mel Buckley.         

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the Forward Work Programme be noted;

(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 the Committee notes the progress made in completing the outstanding actions.
