A
Hello
and
welcome
to
the
decision
session
of
the
executive
member
for
culture,
leisure
and
communities.
It's
the
11th
of
august
2020-
and
this
is
one
of
our
it's
my
first
remote
meeting
of
a
decision
session
just
before
we
move
on
to
the
sort
of
formal
business
for
today's
decision
session.
I'd
just
like,
because
we've
got
a
few
officers
here
to
talk
about
talk,
talk
about
the
agenda
item,
so
we'll
just
go
around
and
yeah.
A
Thank
you
so
much
everyone
moving
on
to
the
sort
of
formal
business
item,
one
declarations
of
interest.
I
can,
I
don't,
have
any
declarations
of
interest
to
make
so
on
to
item
two,
the
minutes,
I'm
happy
to
to
approve
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting
held
on
the
16th
of
march.
I
think
that
was
the
last
time
I
was
in
west
offices
and
so
quite
a
yes,
it's
a
momentous
meeting,
but
didn't
feel
so
I
guess
at
the
time.
A
So
I'm
happy
to
approve
the
minutes
from
that
meeting
and
at
the
next
available
opportunity,
I'm
happy
to
sign
them
physically
as
well
item
three
of
public
participation
and
we
haven't
had
any
registered
speakers
for
today's
meeting,
and
nor
did
we
have
any
written
representations.
So
so
that
is
it
with
item
three.
So
moving
on
to
the
main,
the
main
item
for
today's
decision
session,
which
was
item
for
the
your
learning
strategic
service
plan
for
2019
20.
I'll,
go
straight
to
harriet's.
If
that's
okay,
to
introduce
the
report.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
So
this
report
represents
an
update
on
our
position
for
2020
2021,
including
elements
of
funding
and
any
significant
opportunities
and
risks
that
face
the
service
at
the
moment,
and
it
does
also
outline
the
future
plans
and
relatively
briefly,
for
the
service
and
how
we
see
the
service
moving
forward,
maintaining
its
status
with
ofsted
and
also
responding,
of
course,
to
the
cov19
pandemic,
which
we
have
been
central
to
thus
far
and
assume
that
we
will
be
moving
forward,
also
discusses
some
of
the
technical
technological.
B
So
I
think
one
of
the
first
points
wants
to
come
to
is
point
one
on
page
nine,
which
outlines
where
the
service
is
going
having
joined
it
on
the
1st
of
december
last
year.
So
I
joined
as
a
joint
executive
head
of
service,
so
essentially
wear
two
hats,
but
try,
wherever
possible,
split
time
between
york
and
north
yorkshire,
trying
to
work
at
the
moment
on
a
strategic,
operational
plan
that
takes
into
account
the
covert
response,
but
also
the
opportunities
that
are
coming
up
in
the
skill
sector.
More
widely.
B
B
C
Just
that
it's
the
esfa
have
confirmed
it,
they'll
be
reviewing
everything
this
month
and
they'll.
Let
us
know
what
their
decisions
are.
Moving
on
from
that,
but
I've
regularly
fed
back
all
the
information
to
them
and
they've
seemed
quite
happy
and
positive
of
what
I
what
we
have
been
doing
in
the
meantime,
and
there
is
definitely
a
we
can
show
them
a
definite
movement
for
of
improvement
since
we
started
since
sanctions
started.
B
Thanks,
I
think,
generally,
that
what
the
report
shows
is
that
is
a
really
positive
direction
for
the
service
and
that
the
areas
that
needed,
picking
up
and
dealing
with
have
have
been
dealt
with,
but
also
that
we're
very
much
conscious
of
the
fact
that
we
need
to
be
agile
as
a
service
as
well.
So
there
are
some
plans
in
this
report
that
will
be
coming
to
fruition
within
the
next
18
months.
B
C
However,
it
also
will
reduce
the
outgoings
as
far
as
paying
for
tutor
costs
and
venues,
so
I'm
hoping
that
some
of
it
will
balance
itself
out.
So,
although
it
will
look
like
less,
it
will
be
less
income
coming
in.
There
will
also
be
less
outgoings
going
out
because
we
won't
be
paying
for
venues
and
our
the
way
our
tutor
business
plan
is
set
up.
We
won't
be
paying
for
those
tutors
at
the
moment
because
they
they
will
be
getting
on
with
other
work.
B
And
venues
has
been
a
perpetual
problem
for
us,
but
it's
almost
the
sort
of
positive
that's
come
out
of
the
situation
that
we
were
thrust
into
in
march.
Is
that
we've
we've
adapted
really
quickly
and
of
course,
we
battle
with
connectivity
across
the
city
and
and
learn
access
to
laptops
as
well.
But
I
know
that's
in
in
train
as
well
to
get
some
more
kit
and
tutors
and
for
learners,
so
that
has
been
them.
C
So
that's
that's
now
english
maths
and
I
t
are
entitled
to
be
free
and
that
should
help
many
more
people
become
digitally
included
and
have
the
opportunity
to
access
all
of
the
training
that
will
be
available
and
obviously
that
really
helps
with
the
current
skills
crisis.
That's
going
to
be
occurring
or
expecting
to
be
right,
raising
and
because
people
will
be
able
to
get
those
digital
skills
to
help
them
get
online
apply
for
jobs.
Do
online
interviews
and
stuff
like
that,
and
we
can
now
fund
that
as
part
of
that
initiative,.
B
B
A
I
guess
and
thank
you
as
well.
I
know,
as
andy
pointed
out
in
terms
of
all
the
work
that's
been
done
on
minimum
standards.
I
think
that
was
probably
when
I
first
came
into
this
role
as
portfolio
holder.
I
think
it
was
probably
the
first
other
than
mis.
That
was
probably
the
first
word
that
angie
was
probably
in
the
first
sentence.
A
Andrew
said
to
me
was,
I
need
to
make
you
aware
of
this,
and
I
think
you
know
to
look
back
over
the
last
a
little
over
a
year
now,
but
to
look
back
over
over
what's
been
achieved
and
the
processes
that
are
in
train
yeah,
it's
really
heartwarming
to
see
to
see
that
progress
being
made
in
those
sort
of
green
shoots
that
are
already
there.
I
guess
there's
a
there's
a
way
to
sort
of
just
on
on
mis.
A
C
And
so
we
managed
to
get
them
live
last
christmas,
and
so
all
bookings
were
going
through
with
payments.
There's
just
there's
just
still
other
little
tweaks
to
do
to
make
sure
password
resets
work
properly
and
little
little
glitches
that
we've
been
working
on.
But,
yes,
everybody
can
enroll
now
live.
A
That's
fantastic!
So
now
in
the
in
the
march
meeting
we
had,
I
know
it
was
within
four
months.
I
guess
it
was
one
of
the
one
of
the
few
things
covered,
19
sped
up
rather
than
the
slowed
down.
So
it's
yeah
it's
great
to
see
and
I
think
yeah
to
sort
of
name
drop
it
as
well.
It
was
fantastic
to
attend
the
yeah.
A
We
can
yeah,
surely
slowly
improve
proficiency.
You
know
through,
and
I
know
I'm
talking
about
digital
inclusion.
I
know
we
have
the
meeting
tomorrow
with
with
various
sector
groups.
Don't
we
in
terms
of
how
we
can
take
the
learning
from
the
last
few
months,
and
I
was
asked
my
nan
what
digital
inclusion
meant,
someone
who's,
not
on
social
media
and
only
only
guess,
just
on
email
and
and
yeah.
I
think
we
can
definitely
make
make
further
progress.
A
B
Sorry,
angie
on
that,
I
think
we
were
going
to
also
just
make
you
aware
that
we've
had
to
obviously
make
some
quite
drastic
changes
to
the
planned
jobs
fairs
as
well,
so
we're
working
with
simon
baraton
and
arsene
ediston
on
some
digital
versions
of
these
opportunities
and
also
how
we
can
bring
them
together
rather
than
running
separate
events.
So
even
if
they
can
be
socially
distanced
now,
then
they
will
go
ahead.
A
C
That
we
were
successful
in
a
bid
for
some
tablets
and
some
data
for
people
that
are
very
digitally
excluded
and
I've
managed
to
work
with
other
partners
like
age,
uk
and
yopa,
to
enable
some
of
them
to
get
them
to
get
those
we're
getting.
Those
devices
to
those
people
nominated
who
have
no
digital
devices
at
the
moment,
are
completely
excluded
or
unable
to
communicate
with
other
people
online.
So
we're
processing
that
now
and
then
to
enable
that
to
proceed
further.
C
I'm
working
with
a
large
working
group
part
which
will
be
tomorrow
to
take
that
further
and
get
a
reconditioning
system
working
where
people
can
recycle
a
decent
device
decent
enough
for
us
to
recondition
it
and
then
loan
it
to
people
who
have
nothing
so
we're.
If
we're
ever
in
a
locked
down
situation
again,
which
hopefully
we
won't
be,
they
won't
be
completely
excluded
or
there'll,
be
pathways
for
us
to
improve
that
for
them.
A
Yeah
and
thank
you
so
much,
I
know
yeah
from
including
the
sort
of
data
bundles
in
that
works.
I
know
it's.
It's
often
you're
given
training,
but
not
the
resource
to
do
anything
with
it
or
then,
even
when
you
do
get
the
the
tablet
or
smartphone
or
anything
yeah,
there's
no
sim
card
in
it.
So
it's
great
to
yeah
see
that
all
the
dots
have
been
joined
up
and
and
all
the
sort
of
common
traps
that
I
guess
local
authorities
or
other
education
providers
might
fall
into
haven't,
haven't
have
been
avoided.
A
In
this
instance,
I
don't
have
any
questions
and
I
think
I
should
probably
just
somewhat
by
saying
a
through
decision
sessions
and
through
the
other
reports
and
going
to
executive
they're.
Understandably,
it's
not
always
cause
for
hope.
Some
of
the
reports
that
we
that
we
are
coming
through
these
processes
at
the
moment,
but
reading
this
yeah
this
planet
is,
you
know,
fantastic
to
read
and
and
really
quite
heartwarming,
and
although
obviously
you
know,
lockdown
and
kovid19
have
presented
enormous
enormous
challenges.
A
I'd
just
like
to
thank
everyone
at
your
learning,
harriet
angie,
just
for
everything-
that's
been
done
over
the
last
few
months.
You
know
and
that's
you
know,
both
staff
that
are
usually
sat
in
west
offices,
tutors
and,
of
course,
learners
that,
without
without
the
learners
who
have
you
know,
got
involved.
