Issue - meetings

The committee is asked to consider the findings and recommendations of the rapid scrutiny exercise as detailed in their report.

This report will be circulated as a supplement to the agenda when available.

Cllr Hubbard, Cllr Cuthbert and Mr John Hawkins introduced the report of the rapid scrutiny project.

They explained that the project was unable to produce any solid recommendations from the two meetings due to a lack of information available to the members. Once the data was made available the members could continue and conclude their work.

Officers explained that there was a period following the absence of the previous Associate Director for Commissioning, Performance and School Effectiveness where full guidance was not available. As a result adequate information was not provided to the members.

Resolved

To note the report of the Traded Services for Schools Rapid Scrutiny Project.

To ask the rapid scrutiny membership to form a Traded Services for Schools Task Group.

To request that the membership of the Traded Services for Schools Task Group perform a separate piece of scrutiny on Outdoor Education.
