To confirm the minutes of the meeting held on 15 December 2008 as a correct record.

The Board was advised that at present the structure of a range of bodies  charged with monitoring and delivering outcomes for children and young people were being reviewed with a view to forming a new Children’s Trust Board and the appropriate sub structures beneath it. 

As part of the review the Board’s Terms of Reference and those of other bodies were being examined to ensure that they were fit for purpose and that there were no areas of duplication.

It was confirmed that once the review was complete the Board would receive the proposed Terms of Reference for the Children’s Trust Board.

It was noted that a report, requested at the previous meeting, in relation to the mapping and monitoring areas outside the remit of existing monitoring process, had not been submitted to this meeting as there were implications arising from review of the structures in places to deliver Children’s Services currently been undertaken. Once this had been completed the Board would receive a report identifying any areas that fell outside the remit of these.  

In response to a query the Board was advised that the full Child Poverty Strategy document had been circulated with the minutes of the previous meeting.

RESOLVED:

That the minutes of the meeting held on 15 December 2008 be confirmed as a correct record.
