Agenda item

To note the proposed scrutiny work programme for the remainder of the municipal year.

RECEIVED the proposed scrutiny work programme for the remainder of the municipal year.

NOTED that

The Adults Health and Social Care Panel would consider:

• foot care in January 2016, rather than alcohol and tobacco;
• loneliness and isolation and neighbourhood connects in March 2016;
• budget monitoring in February 2016, and;
• safeguarding in the borough starting in November 2015.

The Children and Young People Scrutiny Panel would:

• bring forward the review on Early Help and put back the review into 30 hours funding for 4 year olds;
• consider Youth Offending particularly the impact on black young men in February 2016 and;
• conduct budget monitoring as part of next cabinet member questions. 

The work programme referred to the Workforce Plan and Business Infrastructure Programme, for the next Overview and Scrutiny Committee which might be deferred.  However, Cabinet Member questions with Councillor Goldberg, Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Social Inclusion and Sustainability, would focus on social inclusion.

RESOLVED to agree the amendments to the panel and committee work programmes as detailed above.
