Minutes:

The Council considered the recommendation of Cabinet, contained in minute 137, on the adoption of the Children and Young People’s Plan 2011/14, together with the written report of the Director of Services for Children and Young People which had been submitted to Cabinet. 

 

Councillor Mrs Watkins (Cabinet Member for Children and Young People) presented the Children and Young People’s Plan 2011/14 for adoption, subject to an amendment of an error on Guiding Principle No 8 (page 55 refers) so that the sixth bullet point reads “…….Gypsy and Traveller families” (to replace “……..gypsy and traveller families”) and highlighted that she had attended all the consultation events (except for one).  She had been particularly impressed with the event attended by children, who had been very enthusiastic and had contributed to the plan.   

 

Councillor Mrs Bowyer seconded the proposal and congratulated Services for Children and Young People on their consultation.  During the debate, the following points were raised -

 

?

the progress made during the previous plan, had been  recognised;

?

the plan had high aspirations; 

?

there was still work in progress and many challenges contained in the plan;

?

the contributions from partners had yet to be confirmed;

?

detailed monitoring and evaluation of the plan would be necessary. 

 

Agreed that the Children and Young People’s Plan 2011/14 is adopted, as amended.

 

At the conclusion of the item, the Lord Mayor again reminded councillors with regard to the way they refer to each other.
