Discussion ensued on the presentation with the following comments made:-
- Children’s Centres had been a flagship for the previous Government, however, the current Government had not provided funding for them. Due to the critical financial challenges faced by the Council, there was only funding for 1 more year
- Given the support for the 11 most deprived areas, many of which had Children’s Centres and were a model of good practice, it was felt that closing them would be disastrous
- Just working in the 11 most deprived areas would not achieve the aims/aspirations across the board
Chrissy was thanked for her presentation.
