Agenda item

To review the work programme for upcoming meetings of the Education and Children’s Services Scrutiny Panel, and suggest any amendments.

The Chair invited Sarah Forsyth, Scrutiny Officer, to introduce the report.  Members raised their concerns that agendas were too long at present and the need to allow time for more in depth scrutiny work in the future.

Resolved:

1)  that a progress report on the Family Placement Service Gold Project be added to the work programme;

2)  that a report on domestic violence interventions be added to the work programme; and

3)  that consideration be given to a joint meeting with the Health Scrutiny Panel to look at the work being done, and impact of, Priority 3 of the Children and Young People’s Plan.
