Issue - meetings

To share with Advisory Panel Members some proposals for the Terms of Reference and Officer support for the Task Groups, agreed at the meeting of the Panel held on 23 September 2008 and to agree the Terms of Reference for the Task Groups and Officer support arrangements.

Consideration was given to the proposed Terms of Reference and officer support for the Transforming Learning Communities (TLC) and Social Care Redesign Task Groups.

With regard to the Transforming Local Communities Task Group, Members questioned whether or not Transforming Local Communities was currently being supported by consultants, how it would be supported in the future, what the current position was and how many surplus places were within the schools at present. The Panel agreed that at the first meeting of the task group a background report answering the above issues should be received.

It was agreed that Councillor Mrs E C Tomlinson would be added to the membership of the Social Care Redesign Panel and that the Democratic Services Officer arrange a meeting of both Task Groups for the end of November 2008.

1. That the terms of Reference for the Task Groups be approved.

3. That the Transforming Local Communities Task Group receive a background report at its first meeting
4. That Councillor Mrs E C Tomlinson be added to the membership of the Social Care Redesign Panel
