Minutes:

Members considered a report that analysed performance by reference to the service plan, the budget and the performance indicators for all of the services funded through the Children’s Services budget. In line with the council’s integrated reporting arrangements this report provided Members with an opportunity to reflect on progress in the second period of this financial year against actions, performance indicators and finance projections.

 

Members raised several questions on the information provided in Annex 1 to the report; Officers agreed to get back to the relevant Members on their individual queries. The queries were as follows:1

 

·        More information and a broader description is needed regarding ‘Training undertaken by key staff with regard to PHSE, and Relationships Education (SRE) to reducing teenage pregnancies’ (Page 129 of the agenda)

·        Following the demise of NAGTY their data which shows the involvement of students in enrichment programmes will not be available and the new provider is currently not providing this information. This will impact on the ability to report on this Performance Indicator (PI) in the future…’ – is this being rectified? (Page 132 of the agenda)

·        When are the indicators on vocational course results going to be made available? (Page 144 of the agenda)

·        In relation to the information to ensure that victims participate in restorative processes in 25% of relevant disposals referred to in the Youth Offending Team and 85% of victims are satisfied – can Officers include information in relation to customer satisfaction. (Page 144 of the agenda)

·        In relation to the Number of organisations awarded the Youth Charter – What is the Charter and what is happening in relation to this (Page 157 of the agenda)
