Issue - meetings

To give consideration to the work programme.

Members considered the work programme. It was suggested that due to its impact on the 2012/13 Business Planning Process, the review of Home to School Transport should be brought forward in order to align with the relevant timescales. It was also asserted that as the issue not only encompassed Children’s policy but also Transport policy it would be appropriate to invite Members of the Environment and Prosperity Scrutiny Committee to be involved. Considering the impact on Scrutiny resources it was suggested that the review of Care Leavers be suspended and reconvened after the Home to School review had reported.

RESOLVED –

a)    That a Task and Finish Group looking into Home to School Transport be established and that Members of the Environment & Prosperity Committee be invited to participate.

b)    That the Task and Finish Review on Care Leavers be suspended until the final reporting of the Home to School Transport review.
