Recommendations:-

 

1.           That Cabinet note the updates within the report.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report which provided an update on the actions that were able to be progressed from June, 2020 during the current Covid-19 lockdown restrictions period.

 

Since June 2020, the Assistant Director for Early Help, Family Engagement and Business Support was assigned to lead this work and convened a fortnightly Task and Finish Group to expedite action and to oversee process.

 

Updates have been provided against each of the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board (OSMB) recommendations and these were clearly detailed as part of the report.

 

The outbreak of Covid-19 continued to hamper progress made against some of the review recommendations and this was likely to be the case for some considerable time.  However, this work would be progressed virtually where possible to ensure recommendations continued to be progressed.

 

Resolved:-

 

That the updates within the report be noted.
