4.1      Councillor Luke Sorba introduced the report to the Committee and asked members to think of items they would like on the work programme for the 2020/21 municipal year and possible ideas for task and finish groups. The following key points were raised:

4.1.1A number of topics were raised as possible options for Task and Finish groups including: domestic violence; youth violence; and food poverty. The Scrutiny Manager highlighted that under the new arrangements, members would put forward their own proformas for topics direct to Overview & Scrutiny. Support would be available to help members with the forms.

4.1.2A possibility for an item on the CYP Select Committee agenda could be a report on unregulated educational settings.

4.1.3It would be important to have a focus on results and achievements. This could be focusing on the provisional results much earlier in the municipal year such as September so there is more time to act.

4.1.4It would be good to have an item showing the longer-term school improvement strategy.

4.1.5Members agreed that there needed to be a rethink in the way the Committee received information on school results including when they receive them and how they received the information and triangulated the evidence with other sources.

4.1.6The Interim Director of Children and Young People Select Committee highlighted that it would be possible to bring the provisional results to Committee in September, however it was not until the validated results were available when benchmarking data would be available. The earliest possible time was likely to be the third week in January.

4.2      RESOLVED that comments made by the Committee would be incorporated into the work programme report at the first meeting of the CYP Select Committee of the 2020 municipal year.
