Children's Improvement Plan Quarterly Update

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To provide an update to cabinet on the children's improvement plan.

The Strategic Improvement Plan forms part of the council’s response to the non-statutory improvement notice issued by the Department for Education (DfE) on 18 May 2021.

 

Decision:

That

a)     Cabinet members, having reviewed progress against the Children and Families Strategic Improvement Plan v1.0 following the 18th May 2021 DfE non-statutory notice to improve, have not identified any additional actions to support delivery of improvements.

 

Alternative options considered:

1.      The Cabinet could choose not to review the progress of the Children’s and Families Improvement Plan delivery but this is not recommended as Cabinet has an important role in exploring pressures and dependencies relating to priority actions, and in identifying and reviewing mitigation for any risk and issues which might work against the council delivering improvements.
