Issue - meetings

Members discussed the work programme for the 28 November subcommittee meeting.

The Chair asked for the new Chair of the Safeguarding Children Board, Di Smith, to be invited to attend the meeting. The Executive Director (People) confirmed that this would be done. The Chair also requested that the covering report for the Annual Report of the Safeguarding Board should give a description of her role as the Chair of the Board.

The Sub-Committee agreed to:

- Add an agenda item on statistics relating to missing children

- Postpone the item on youth employability to a later meeting – possibly in the following municipal year

- Have a briefing meeting on “Public Law Outline” and “Early Permanence” prior to the 28 November meeting and to request a written briefing on these two topics ahead of the briefing meeting, in order to gain a better understanding of these two items

The Sub-Committee also agreed that the Cabinet Member Question and Answer session for Cllr Alisa Flemming should be moved from the 6 February meeting to the 13 March meeting.
