Issue - meetings

To consider the Forward Work Programme of the Social & Health Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee and to inform the Committee of progress against actions from previous meetings.

(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.

(c)        That the progress made in completing the outstanding actions be noted

The Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator presented the Committee’s current Forward Work Programme and  Action Tracking report for consideration and welcomed any questions from Members.

Following a request for an update on the Mockingbird Project and Foster Care it was suggested that a report was brought in October with a separate report also provided on the Safeguarding Hub.

Following a request to restart visits to meet frontline staff working in Childrens Social Care in Flintshire, as recommended by the inquiry who looked into the death of Victoria Climbie, it was suggested to look at this in September / October.  This would enable time to liaise with operational services to arrange a visit.

The recommendations within the report together with the additions were supported.

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.

(c)        That the progress made in completing the outstanding actions be noted.
