                That the Cheshire Children Plan 2008-11 be formally recommended for adoption, By Cheshire East Council, as its statutory Children Plan to 2011 and that Council notes the requirement to set local targets (as part of the LAA process) by 1 April 2009 and the need to review, refresh and localise that Plan, during the period April 2009 to June 2010.

Consideration was given to a brief for the Cheshire East Council on its duties in relation to the Cheshire East Children Plan 2008-2011, and to formal decisions required in order to ensure that statutory requirements were complied with for 1 April 2009.  In considering the local priorities listed in paragraph 7.8 reference was made to an aim contained in the Cheshire Plan to ‘raise achievement in School’ and it was agreed that an extra bullet point should be added to the local priorities to reflect this.
