Issue - meetings

The Board received a report that provided an update on progress in preparing the new Children and Young People’s Plan (C&YPP).

Following the decision to form a Children’s Trust Board the current C&YPP had been extended to end in September 2009 rather than April 2009 in order to allow for the necessary adjustments to be made to reflect this.

The Board was advised that consultation begun and the results of this were available on the Council’s website. A Working Party had been established to produce the Strategy attached the C&YPP and a questionnaire had also been placed on the website seeking views on the strategy.

The Chair requested that a link to the questionnaire should be circulated to members of the Board.

There was agreement that a report should be submitted to the Board’s next meeting setting out how children and young people would be able to influence the C&YPP.  

It was noted that it had previously been agreed that there should be a review of what had been achieved under the previous C&YPP and that this should be reported to the Board.

RESOLVED:

1. That progress to date be noted.

2. That the questionnaire and consultation document referred to above should be circulated to members of the Board.
