Decision details

Committee to consider a paper relating to the updated Early Years Strategy.

The Strategic Lead, Children and Young People, introduced the item which related to Phase 2 of the Early Years Review.

The committee noted that on page 73 of the agenda pack, ‘St. Mary’s’ should instead read ‘St Margaret’s’. The committee further noted that reducing inequality would be stated as an overarching approach in the consultation.

The following was therefore RESOLVED:

1.    The Children, Education, Libraries and Safeguarding Committee delegated authority to the Commissioning Director of Children and Young People to prepare a draft outline business case, with options for consultation, and to report back to a future meeting of this committee.

2.    The Children, Education, Libraries and Safeguarding Committee noted the content of the report and approved the strategic outline case.
