Children's Service - Quarter 2 Performance

To receive an update

Minutes:

Members considered this item along with the following item ‘Children’s Services Review’ together.

 

Members were advised that these items enabled them to review the 2021/22 Quarter 2 Performance results for Children’s Services and to consider the information set out in the Committee papers on issues in Children’s Services, including current pressures.  In addition, Members had received a copy of the current Children’s Services Strategy and were able to consider options for its review and explore opportunities to be part of the development of the new Children’s Services Strategy during 2022. 

 

The Chairperson invited the Cabinet Member to make a statement after which Members were asked if they had any questions, comments or observations to make.

 

Members noted the significant amount of work that had been undertaken by the Service despite the huge pressures they were under and wished to thank the staff for all their hard work in such challenging times.

Members welcomed the Service Area’s commitment to remodelling the Service and working with Resources in relation to the financial remodelling.

Members discussed funding and asked that they are kept abreast about Cardiff lobbying Welsh Government for future funding.

Officers informed Members of various reviews that were being undertaken.  Members asked that they are kept informed about these and that Committee receives outputs from the Front Door Review, the Commissioned System Review and the Audit of Adolescent Services by the Advocacy Panel.

Members were keen to work with the Service Area in a Task and Finish Group to look at the reviews and the development of the Children’s Services Strategy.

RESOLVED:

 

That the Chairperson writes to the Cabinet Member on behalf of the Committee expressing their comments and observations during the way forward.
