Minutes:
The Chair noted his disappointment that the provisional secondary results were not available in time for the meeting. Officers explained that this was outside their control as the results were due to be released nationally the following day.
Officers were asked why the Lewisham Safeguarding Children Board annual review for 2018-19, which was due to have been considered before the summer recess, had yet to be presented to the committee. Officers gave assurances that the report was ready and would be circulated imminently.
The time being 9:30pm, it was MOVED, SECONDED and RESOLVED that Standing Orders be suspended for 10 minutes to allow for the completion of Committee business.
After a brief discussion, it was noted that:
1. If the provisional results revealed anything of note, a briefing would be prepared and circulated by email
2. A population needs assessment in respect of the Early Help Review had yet to be provided.
3. Members requested a briefing on the Children’s Centres contract extension and a chance to discuss the Youth Centre Contract.
4. The Youth Centre Contract was due to be let in either December or January.
5. One Member expressed frustration at the designation of reports as “Information Items”, meaning it would not be discussed. The Chair clarified that Members were free to discuss any item on the agenda but that no officer would be present for Information Items.
The work programme was considered and the following was agreed:
1. Move “Provisional school results” to December
2. Move “Children’s Social Care Improvement Plan” to January
3. Add “Early Help Review” to January
4. Move “Exclusions from school – in-depth review follow up” to March.
