The Group Director, Community & Children’s Services presented his report to Members for consideration and endorsement of the final draft of the Cwm Taf Regional Statement of Intent for Supporting Children and Young People.
The Group Director provided Members with detail of the statement which sets out the shared vision, principles and objectives which will direct the work of all partners when addressing Welsh Government legislation. He added that It would also, where necessary, ensure high quality accessible and integrated services to help children, young people, families and communities effectively.
The Cabinet Member for Children & Young People welcomed the statement of intent and the provision made available for children within the statement. The Cabinet Member commented on the poor response to the engagement strategy that was undertaken, which would have provided assurance that the statement matched the shared needs and expectations of colleagues, partners, organisations and local citizens.
Following discussions it was RESOLVED:
1. To endorse the Cwm Taf Regional Statement of Intent for Supporting Children and Young People.
2. The outlined next steps, as detailed within the report.
County Borough Councillor R Bevan:
“As granted by the Standards Committee on the 8th December, 2017 I have a dispensation to speak and vote on all matters relating to the Community and Children’s Services Group, save for any specific matters that directly affect my daughter, who is employed by the Council in the Community and Children’s Services Group as the Service Manager for Access and Enablement.”
