Minutes:
Tony Crane, Head of Service, Early Intervention and Prevention, attended to present a report on the Cheshire East Family Service. He described how the implementation of a new Family Service was a response to a range of initiatives and strategies both from recent internal Task and Finish Reviews and national policies.
With this in mind, he reported that a new flexible operational structure had been developed in order to create a service with a defined function and identity.
Whilst agreeing with the principle, The Committee felt it would be useful to see more detail behind the costs and rationale of the newly developed operational structure. It was suggested that this be circulated to Members. It was also suggested that the policy be revisited in six months in order to review its efficacy.
RESOLVED –
a) That the Committee agree to the development of a Cheshire East Family Service and the targeted approach to prevention.
b) That the costs and rationale of the newly developed operational structure be distributed to Members of the Committee.
c) That the policy be revisited in six months for review.
