The chairperson for the Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee (CYPSC) detailed that at the meeting earlier this month work force issues and the workforce strategy were discussed.  This is an area of improvement identified by the Ofsted report.  Noted that the recruitment and retention activity in the Council was stabilising but the activity in the improvement plan was still RAG rated as red.  On review of this the committee identified six recommendations which are set out in the appendix to the report. 

It was unanimously agreed that the recommendations made on 13 June 2024 by the Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee at its meeting be noted, and that an Executive Response to the scrutiny recommendations be prepared for consideration in due course.
