That the Committee is assured by the Council’s response to external regulatory reports.

The Chief Executive presented the report to give assurance that reports from external regulators and inspectors in 2023/24 had been considered in accordance with the agreed internal reporting protocol.  The report summarised progress against actions and noted that assurance mapping work was being undertaken to identify any other external regulation providing assurance and/or recommendations for improvement.

The Chair asked about the Audit Wales 2022 report ‘Time for Change - Poverty in Wales’ and was assured that actions had been progressed and would be reported to this Committee.

Councillor Andrew Parkhurst sought assurance on actions from the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) report in respect of ensuring appropriate housing options for young care leavers.  It was confirmed that this was scheduled for Cabinet and Social & Health Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee in June.  As requested by Sally Ellis, the report would also come to this Committee in June.

The recommendation was moved and seconded by Councillors Andrew Parkhurst and Linda Thomas.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee is assured by the Council’s response to external regulatory reports.
