Issue - meetings

Howard Jones – Consultant, Children & Young People’s Service – introduced the report as set out in the agenda papers.  Since the report had been circulated the borough had 286 families who met at least 2 of the national criteria, with approximately 40 meeting all 3 criteria.  The focus was on those families facing the biggest challenges.

Extra capacity was required to drive the process – the service would investigate the most effective ways of working with partners.  A new team would be appointed shortly.

The Chair requested that a regular update be provided to the Community Safety Partnership.

RESOLVED that the update be noted.
