Minutes:
The Senior Manager – Integrated Services and Lead Adults, introduced a report to provide an update on the achievements of transition programmes. She provided background information on the service provided by the Transition Team within the Child 2 Adult Team and reported on the main points, as detailed in the report, on the support provided to young people with disabilities.
Councillor Mackie spoke in support of accessing the local facilities provided by the Council’s Education Services as opposed to using out of county services. The Senior Manager explained that where possible young people were encouraged to remain local and said that transition funding stayed with the individual during their time and needs in education services.
Councillor Bateman commented on the work that Theatr Clwyd undertook in conjunction with Social Services to support young children. In acknowledging the comment made by Councillor Bateman the Chief Officer said that the Service was considering making an application for an accolade in recognition of the work undertaken in partnership with Theatr Clwyd.
The Chief Officer (Social Services) referred to section 2.01 in the report and drew attention to the Transition to Adulthood budget pressure which was currently included as £0.943m within the Medium Term Financial Strategy for 2022/23 to maintain the level of service required (residential college or home support).
The recommendations in the report were moved by Councillor Healey and seconded by Councillor Bateman.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the information contained in the report be noted; and
(b) That the challenges in relation to the support required and work ongoing to help families’ expectations as well as understanding the challenges in relation to the Additional Learning Needs Act be acknowledged.
