A
Hey
good
morning,
everybody
welcome
to
the
January
meeting
of
the
children
and
family
scrutiny
board
which,
as
everyone
knows
and
I
haven't,
had
the
chance
to
say
for
a
while
is
the
best
scrutiny
board
in
the
city.
If
not
the
country,
it's
a
well-known
fact
just
to
explain
to
everyone
that
the
meeting
has
been
webcast.
A
So
any
interesting
members
of
the
public
that
are
unable
to
observe
in
person
can
still
follow
the
meeting
remotely,
as
is
our
custom,
we'll
go
around
and
introduce
everybody
at
the
beginning,
just
the
board
members
for
now
and
then
I'll
ask
our
guests
and
contributors
once
we
get
to
the
items
that
are
relevant
to
them.
So
I'm
going
to
start
at
my
left.
D
A
And
frantically
working
away
to
my
right
is
Rob
Clayton
who's
filling
in
for
Angela.
Today,
he's
our
principal
scrutiny
advisor
and
I'm
a
bit
like
to
practice
when
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself
at
the
start,
so
councilor
Alan
Lam,
representing
Weatherby,
Ward
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
board,
and
do
you
want
to
just
steal,
Kate's
Kate's
microphone?
I
was
working.
Okay,.
A
President,
thank
you.
Laura
we're
all
good
bro,
we're
all
good
it's
working
now,
okay,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
to
the
start
of
the
agenda.
Cassie's
going
to
take
us
through
items
one
to
five
so
over
to
you,
please
Cassie.
B
There
are
no
appeals
against
refusal
to
inspect
documents.
Item
number
two:
there's
no
exempt
information
number
three:
there
were
no
late
items
number
four:
are
there
any
Declarations
of
Interest?
B
Okay
item
number:
five:
there
were
the
following:
apologies
for
absence,
counselor
Howley
is
absent.
Councilor
Flynn
is
substituting
for
councilor
Stevenson
councilor
Harrington
is
substituting
for
councilor
Richards
councilor
Lennox
is
substituting
for
councilor
Bethel
and
councilor.
Maloney
is
substituting
for
councilor
hustlewood.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
Cassie
and
one
one
other
item
on
apologies.
Unfortunately,
I've
got
an
appointment.
A
I've
got
to
leave
for
about
11
30.,
so
I
think
it's
unlikely
we'll
get
through
everything
by
then
so
my
plan
is
to
schedule
a
break
around
11,
20,
11
25
and
then,
with
the
board's
agreement,
I'm
going
to
propose
that
when
I
have
to
go
that
councilor
Flynn
takes
over
to
chair
the
rest
of
the
meeting,
if
everybody's
in
in
agreement
with
that
I'll
take
the
utter
lack
of
dissenters
as
approval
for
that.
So
thank
you.
A
Everybody,
okay,
so
item
six
is
the
minutes
from
the
30th
of
November
2022.
So,
first
of
all,
can
we
have
an
approval
that
they're
an
accurate
records?
A
A
No
I'll
take
total
silence
as
a
as
a
no,
and
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
the
meat
of
the
agenda.
We've
got
plenty
to
get
through
so
item.
Seven
is
the
children
and
young
people's
plan
refresh,
so
we've
got
executive
members,
the
director
and
a
number
of
officers
with
us.
So
perhaps
if
we
can
start
with
some
introductions
and
councilor
Pryor,
if
you
just
just
go
in
a
straight
line,
it's.
J
F
Good
morning,
everyone
I'm
Council
of
Fiona
vener
I'm,
the
executive
board
member
for
children
and
adult
social
care
and
health
Partnerships
Council
Anna
just
wanted
to
say,
welcome
back,
it's
really
positive.
It
was
really
positive
to
see
you
last
week
and
Council
and
to
be
back
in
this
room
with
you
again.
I
was
very
worried
about
the
standard
of
biscuits
in
your
absence,
but
councilor
Stevenson
did
get
his
mince
pose
at
Christmas,
but
it's
lovely
to
see
you
again.
Thank
you.
M
A
Thank
you,
everybody,
and
for
the
millions
of
people
watching
at
home
that
couldn't
hear
counselor
Pryor
introduce
himself
it's
Council
of
Prior,
but
I'm
sure
he'll
make
himself
known
as
the
meeting
progresses,
so
I'm
gonna,
assume,
councilor
Vena
is
going
to
introduce
the
the
report
and
then
Julie
and
the
team
take
us.
Take
us
through
it.
F
So
this
this
planet
is
a
really
really
important
document,
because
it
gives
us
all
our
work
in
children
and
families
and
it
will
guide
our
work
for
the
next
few
years.
You
can
see
in
the
paper
how
much
consultation
has
taken
place
with
children
and
young
people
themselves
to
refresh
the
wishes
and
to
set
out
a
plan
that
reflects
their
aspirations
and
what's
important
to
them
a
significant
change,
since
the
last
plan
is
the
inclusion
of
a
priority
around
the
climate
emergency,
which
we
know
is
something
children.
Young
people
are
very
passionate
about.
F
We've
been
out
to
consultation
on
the
wording
and
you've
got
the
results
of
that
in
your
pack,
so
I'm
really
happy
to
hand
over
to
officers
to
go
into
the
detail
and
take
questions
with
them
at
the
end
of
the
presentations.
Thank
you.
Q
I'll
just
add
a
few
little
bits
to
to
Council
of
Anna's
opening,
and
so
this
is
the
refresh
of
the
children
and
young
people's
plan,
and
really
this
is
the
plan
that
leads
all
of
the
work
of
all
of
the
partners
across
the
city
in
relation
to
children
and
families
and
as
councilor
Venice
said,
we
have
had
a
lot
of
consultation,
that's
taken
place
between
the
7th
of
November
and
the
12th
of
December,
and
we've
had
442
online
responses.
Q
Q
The
plan
will
be
taken
to
full
Council
for
approval
in
summer
of
this
year
and,
as
councilor
Venice
said,
there's
a
number
of
proposed
changes
that
colleagues
will
talk
and
scrutiny
members
through,
but
really
the
consultation
has
shown
broad
support
for
those
changes
and
so
I'm
going
to
hand
over
to
officers
who
will
just
perhaps
give
some
of
the
highlights
in
terms
of
the
proposed
changes
and
the
feedback
that
we've
had
as
part
of
the
consultation
foreign.
O
I'd
just
like
to
thank
my
colleague,
Chris
who's
done
who's
LED
on
all
the
work
for
this
in
the
consultation
and
pulling
it
together.
I'm
here
talking
to
you,
because
Chris
is
still
dealing
with
some
post
covert
symptoms.
So
I'd
just
like
to
thank
Chris
for
that.
I'd
probably
connect
this
report
to
the
two
ones
coming
up
as
well.
The
with
our
renewal
of
the
cypp
Carries
On,
the
strategy
we've
been
working
on
for
a
number
of
years,
but
it
reflects
current
circumstances.
O
It
reflects
some
of
those
circumstances
a
wider
and
at
City
level.
So
how
how
the
children,
young
people's
plan
is
a
thematic
plan.
It
sits
within
the
framework
of
the
city
Ambitions
we'll
talk
about.
The
next
item
is
really
important
and
that's
followed
by
the
performance
item,
which
reflects
some
of
the
challenges
that
why
the
strategy
continuing,
as
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
why
some
of
the
changes
here
are
also
reflected
in
the
performance
information
and
the
later
report.
O
So,
probably
just
going
through
the
appendices
here
and
just
commenting
on
what's
in
the
report,
there
was
there
was
discussion
on
the
vision
and
that
emphasizes
what
I've
just
said
that
there's
a
the
feedback
that
came
through
the
consultation
that
was
described,
re-emphasized
the
challenges
around
deprivation,
the
challenges
around
poverty
and
a
sort
of
a
commitment
to
reinsert
the
outcomes
to
improve
faster
for
children,
young
people
from
vulnerable
and
deprived
backgrounds,
and
we're
still
looking
at
how
we
can
how
we
build
in
the
health
and
Obsession.
O
So
this
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
making
sure
that
Health
was
essential
to
this
and
health
outcomes
essential
to
it.
There's
a
lot
contained
in
that
those
words
Health
outcomes.
So
how
do
we
create
an
obsession
and
Obsession
as
something
that
the
city
can
get
behind?
Everyone
who
works
with
Children
and
Families
can
see
how
they
contribute
to
the
obsession.
So
what's
the
obsession
there
that
we
can
get
behind
there
and
to
do
that,
we
also
need
to
get
the
obsession
right
around.
You
know:
post
covert,
our
children
back
and
learning
post
16.
O
O
Similarly,
about
retaining
the
five
outcomes
with
with
the
change
in
the
wording
around
Healthy
Lifestyles,
then,
as
it
has
been
mentioned,
introduce
the
climate
priority
a
bit
of
a
debate
about
you
know
this
is
children,
young
people,
so
they
want
a
future.
They
want
a
future.
We
will
address
the
climate
emergency.
O
What's
the
role
of
the
children
young
people's
plan,
what's
their
role
in
supporting
that,
so
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we're
engaging
children,
young
people
in
that
conversation
through
the
plan-
and
then
there
was
also
the
last
bit
of
the
report-
was
to
mention
that
the
transport
priority,
the
transport
we
improve
access
and
it's
affordable.
There's
strong,
there's
strong
support
for
this
proposed
change
in
the
wording
for
that,
but
still
a
focus
on
sustainable
trans
transport.
O
So,
as
mentioned
by
there's
a
lot
good
consultation
going
on
lots
of
feedback
reinforcement
of
the
priorities,
reinforcement
to
the
refinement
of
the
priorities
brought
back
here
is
a
third
conversation
on
this,
proceeding
it's
going
through
formal
approval
routes.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
So
are
there
any
more
contributions
from
from
the
officer
team
or
councilor
priority?
Did
you
know
okay?
So
as
as
I've
been
alluded
to
by
Peter,
we
have
discussed
this
twice
before
in
June
and
September
last
year
and
and
had
opportunities
to
to
contribute.
A
So
the
two
tasks
we've
got
today
are
to
offer
our
views
on
the
the
comments
received
from
the
consultation
which
everyone's
got
and
also
just
to
note
the
route
to
adoption
of
the
plan
through
to
full
Council
in
the
summer.
So
they
don't
have
any
questions
or
comments
to
start
with
yeah
with
councilor
Martin.
I
I
So,
whilst
health
is
absolutely
an
important
thing
to
focus
on,
it's
making
sure
that
we
don't
water
down
the
power
of
of
having
a
very
sort
of
focused
number
of
obsessions
which
then
take
along
the
priorities
and
the
other
indicators,
so
just
to
to
reinforce
that
and
and
and
get
some
reassurance
that
we're
not
going
to
have
a
watering
down
of
our
focus
on
reducing
looked
after
children
and
neaten.
I
can't
remember
the
third
one.
Apologies
thanks
here.
Q
Absolutely
councilor
Martin
and
that's
why
I
suppose
we've
had
quite
a
lot
of
discussion
around.
Should
we
stick
with
the
three
obsessions
or
should
we
have
health
as
an
additional
Obsession
and
the
feedback,
and
the
consultation
today
has
been
that
we
ought
to
have
three,
but
that
what
we
need
to
come
do
is
to
combine
the
obsession
which
really
focus
on
education
and
its
totality.
So
attendance
attainment
achievement,
The,
Three
A's
but
also
includes
neat,
so
those
children
are
not
in
education,
employment
and
training.
Q
So
we'll
still
have
the
three
and
I
think
colleagues
across
the
director,
but
also
the
partnership,
are
very
familiar
with
that
that
focus
on
the
three,
and
so
we
don't
intend
to
change
that
at
the
moment.
But
clearly
this
is
you
know.
This
is
all
part
of
the
consultation,
but
the
consultation
we've
had
to
date
is
to
stick
with
the
three
essentially,
but
have
that
one
real
Obsession
which
focuses
on
education
in
its
totality
yeah.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
forces.
Please.
K
K
K
So
it
does
link,
of
course,
with
the
with
the
public,
transport
and
issue
about,
and
especially
I
suppose,
if
you
like
the
journey
to
school
as
well.
My
question,
though,
is
that
was
just
a
comment.
My
question,
though,
is
how
much
how
many
responses
did
you
have
from
Governors
for
this,
and
also
how
will
it
be
communicated
more,
as
you
know,
going
forward
with
governors.
N
Thank
you
and
I:
don't
have
a
number
for
Governors
that
wasn't
one
of
the
choices
in
in
the
questionnaire,
but
I
did
do
a
specific
session
at
one
of
the
governor's
forums
where
I
asked
for
that
to
be
cascaded
through
to
other
governess
and
and
encourage
people
to
fill
in
the
survey.
So
it's
certainly
been
shared
with
with
governess.
N
Now
last
time
when,
when
we
launched
the
cyppp
was
done
with
pupils
at
Shakespeare
primary
school,
so
it
may
be
that
we
do
something
similar
in
terms
of
a
public
launch,
but
we
will
use
the
existing
routes
we
have
to
share
through
Governor's,
newsletters
and
other
groups
as
well
to
make
sure
that
they
get
copies
of
the
plan
and
that
they
know
where
they
can
ask
questions
about
the
content.
That's
in
there.
A
Okay,
I'm,
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions
Julie,
perhaps
just
be
helpful,
just
for
the
benefit
of
the
ball,
just
to
run
through
the
process
from
here
to
to
adoption.
If
that's
all
right.
Q
Yep
so
essentially,
we
will
continue
to
there's
still
some
discussions
around
some
of
the
the
feedback
that
we
have
had
during
that
consultation
phase.
Q
The
plan
will
be
that
it
will
go
to
exec
board
as
I
understand
it,
and
then
it
will
go
to
full
Council,
as
I've
said
in
the
summer
to
be
formally
approved
and
I.
Think
just
in
response
to
to
that
last
question,
you
know
we
really
will
look
to
have
a
a
launch.
You
know
to
have
some
sort
of
publicity
around
and
the
refresh
of
the
strategy.
Q
It
won't
be
new
news
because
clearly,
the
consultation
has
involved
Partners
right
across
the
city,
so
you
know
they
really
do
have
ownership
of
the
plan,
but
I
think
it
is
about
celebrating
the
progress
that
we've
made
today,
but
then
having
a
real
clear
focus
on
the
vision
for
the
future
and
the
priorities
that
we're
still
working
on.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
So
so
we
can
move
to
the
the
recommendations.
If
we
keep
going
at
this
space,
Council
Flynn
might
be
off
the
hook.
A
So
the
first
thing
is
to
offer
our
views
on
the
response
to
comments
received
from
the
consultation
which
I
think
we've
done
that
absolutely
we.
We
have
discussed
this
at
length
twice
before
and
made
big
contributions
to
it
and
then
the
final
thing
is
to
note
the
route
to
adoption.
Thank
you
to
Julie
for
setting
that
out
for
us.
So
everybody
happy
with
the
recommendations
excellent.
So
so
we
move
on
to
item
eight,
which
is
the
best
city
ambition
update.
A
The
purpose
of
this
item
is
to
provide
the
board
with
an
update
on
the
work.
That's
been
undertaken
to
implement
the
best
city
ambition
since
its
adoption
by
full
Council
in
February,
2022
and
joining
us
for
this
item,
seamlessly
easing
to
the
table
is
Mike
eakins,
who
will
introduce
himself
and
then,
if
you'd
like
to
take
us
to
the
report.
Please.
P
Thanks
Council
I'm
here
morning,
everyone
mikeykins,
Acton,
head
of
intelligence
and
policy,
as
as
Council
I'm
reminded
the
board.
This
was
the
best
admission
was
adopted
in
February
last
year
by
full
Council
and
at
that
point,
Council
agreed
that
there
was
the
need
to
have
the
current
year
as
a
transitional
year,
as
we
moved
from
the
previous
best
council
plan
to
the
new
best
city,
ambition
across
the
sort
of
whole
range
of
of
areas,
and
what
the
support
is
really
is
is
of
quite
a
high
level
overview
of
the
range
of
that
work.
P
P
So
the
first
thing
very
much
linked
to
that
previous
item
is
a
is
a
broader
refresh
of
the
Strategic
framework
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
conscious
and
I
think
quite
quite
wide
agreement
from
the
conversations
that
we
had
across
the
council
and
with
some
Partners
as
well.
The
council
has
a
lot
of
strategies-
probably
too
many
when
we,
when
we
looked
at
it
and
when
we
did
a
bit
of
a
mapping
exercise
for
that.
P
The
refresh
version
absolutely
is
a
central,
a
central
part
of
that
that
process
as
I
say
we're
intending
to
do
really
iteratively,
as
things
come
up
for
a
renewal
to
avoid
any
sort
of
big
bang
or
additional
unnecessary
work.
Really
just
when
things
come
up
for
Renewal
to
have
that
conversation
about
is
the
form
we've
had
it
in.
P
Really
thinking
about
the
arrangements
we
have
in
place
under
each
pillar
and
that
work
is
ongoing.
It's
very,
very
strong
around
health
and
well-being,
because
you'll
be
aware
with
statutory
arrangements,
and
there
are,
there
are
things
in
place
under
the
other
two
pillars
which
potentially
we
might
look
to
strengthen,
and
additionally
thinking
about
what
city
level
Partnerships
we
have
in
place
that
can
take
ownership
of
the
best
city
ambition
in
its
broadest
sense,
because
we
were
very
clear.
P
The
next
item,
then,
really
is
about
performance
monitoring,
and
you
will
see
I
think
in
in
the
pack.
There
is
a
very,
very
first
early
draft
direction
of
travel
for
what
some
kpis
and
performance
monitoring
around
the
best
city
ambition
might
look
like.
That
is
very
much
ongoing
work
and,
and
at
present
the
stuff
that
will
follow
in
the
performance
report.
As
the
next
item
is
still
the
primary
route
for
looking
at
performers
across
across
the
board
and
other
areas
have
that
in
place
too.
P
So
this
is
just
an
indicator
of
where
we
might
go
and
alongside
that,
we're
also
looking
at
the
lead
social
Progress
Index,
which
I
think
board.
Members
have
all
now
had
the
opportunity
to
be
to
be
briefed
on
by
colleagues
in
Economic
Development
and
as
that
as
that
progresses
as
a
tool
and
as
more
and
more
metrics
indicators
get
pulled
into
that
covering
a
wider
range
of
things.
We
may
well
move
more
towards
looking
at
the
lead
social
Progress
Index
as
a
primary
way
for
monitoring
progress
towards
diversity.
P
There
is
an
appendix
attached
to
the
report,
which
gives
you
a
run-through
of
the
five
breakthrough
priorities
and
progress
against
them
that
were
launched
alongside
the
best
city
Ambitions.
So
they
are
all
progressing
at
slightly
different
Paces,
as
is
natural
but
larger
I.
Think
that's
because
some
of
the
Breakthrough
priorities
have
a
quite
a
narrow
or
very,
very
targeted
approach
to
something
very
specific.
They
want
to
do
usually
in
addition
to
an
existing
piece
of
work.
P
So
a
good
example
of
that
is
the
the
priority
around
mental
health,
whereas
a
very
targeted
pilot
project,
in
addition
to
what's
happening
more
through
through
hospitals
and
GPS,
and
then
some
of
the
other
projects
are
taking
a
broader
look
and
I.
Think
the
the
the
one
around
that's
that's
more
sort
of
relevant
to
Children
families.
Colleagues
is
is
probably
one
of
those
I
know.
The
focus
of
that
is
likely
to
be
around
reading
as
that
as
that
progresses
and
then
I
think.
P
Finally,
the
the
only
other
thing
that
I
would
mention
is
what
was
really
clear
through
all
the
consultation
we
did
on
the
best
city.
Ambition
was
that
it
needs
to
be
meaningful
at
a
community
level.
P
It's
all
well
and
good,
having
something
sort
of
broad
that
we
as
a
council
understand,
but
it
needs
to
make
sense
to
to
people
on
the
street
and
over
the
course
of
this
year.
I
think
we'll
see
much
more
progress
on
that.
We
had
a
local
government
Association
peer
review
at
the
back
end
of
last
year
and
we
were
really
pleasantly
surprised,
actually
how
much
ownership,
both
in
the
council
and
amongst
Partners
there
already
is
a
diversity
ambition,
but
we
know
there's
a
lot
further.
P
We
can
go
and
one
of
the
things
that
has
come
out
of
that
is
looking
at
the
work.
We
do
at
a
community
level
opportunities
to
bring
that
together
in
to
integrate
more
under
the
scope
of
the
ambition
and
I,
think
the
outcome
of
the
peer
review,
the
action
plan
that
will
come
to
executive
board
and
alongside
some
of
the
work
that
was
already
planned,
led
by
colleagues
in
the
community's
directorate
to
look
at
things
like
local
area
plans
that
Community
committees
will
be
asked
to
sort
of
get
involved
with
in
design.
P
The
logic
of
doing
that,
then,
is
that
this
year
we
will
have
new
health
and
well-being
strategy,
new
inclusive
growth
strategy,
refresh
children
and
young
people's
plan,
and
some
of
those
other
key
strategies
being
refreshed
to
and
we'll
also
have,
and
the
full
data
from
the
Census
2021
as
well
to
update
our
our
evidence-based
for
the
city
and
our
understanding
of
the
makeup
of
the
city.
So
it
makes
sense.
We
think
for
us
to
look
at
the
best
city
on
Mission
again
at
that
point.
P
F
You
thank
you,
chair,
I,
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
that
there
are
some
existing
strategies
that
are
not
reflected
in
this
paper.
I
know
there
was
a
plan
to
refine
the
number
of
strategies
we
have.
We've
still
got
the
future
mind
strategy,
which
is
the
strategy
for
children
and
young
people's
emotional,
mental
health
and
well-being,
and
that's
not
owned
by
the
council.
Although
I
chair
the
board,
that's
a
that's
a
city-wide
partnership
group
across
the
NHS
and
the
council
and
the
third
sector
and
children
and
families
with
lived
experience.
F
We
also
have
we're
refreshing
the
child
poverty
strategy
as
well.
At
the
moment
and
in
the
early
conversations
I
said,
I
didn't
want
that
to
not
be
a
strategy
and
to
be
substant
something
else.
It
needs
its
own
focus
and
its
own
identity,
particularly
at
the
moment.
So
there
are
some
strategies
in
our
children's
area
of
work
that
aren't
reflected
on
page
25,
but
I
assume,
that's
because
across
the
council
there
are
is
still
a
number
of
those
smaller,
very
specific
structures,
and
you
couldn't
list
them
all.
A
Thank
you
councilor,
but
it's
reassuring
to
know.
We've
got
a
strategy
to
deal
with
all
of
our
strategies
going
forward.
Council
Lennox
did
you
want
to
come.
H
Thank
you,
yeah,
just
off
the
back
of
what
Mike
and
Carl
Savannah
both
said
about
the
number
of
different
social
strategies
and
also
talking
about
how
we
can
monitor
success
of
those
strategies.
I
was
really
pleased
to
see
that
the
social
Progress
Index
has
been
will
be
built
into
part
of
underpinning
those
indicators
and
the
monitoring
that
as
an
interface
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
everyone's
seen
yet
the
the
dashboard
and
members
have
all
had
an
introduction
to
the
dashboard
of
the
social
Progress
Index.
H
It's
a
fantastic
way
for
us
to
drill
down
into
loads
and
loads
of
levels
of
data
and
whoever's
built
is
very,
very
clever,
and
those
very
clever
people,
I
think,
could
probably
build
that
out
more
so
that
we
can,
we
can
see
change
over
time.
We
can
apply
it
to
our
Awards.
H
We
can
apply
it
to
the
city
as
a
whole
and
just
building
out
more
and
more
depth
into
that
I
think
is
going
to
be
the
most
accessible
way
for
us
as
members
for
school
Governors
for
people
throughout
the
organizations
in
the
council
that
we
work
with
to
really
get
to
grips
with.
I
mean
it's,
so
it's
so
once
you've
had
a
play
around
with
it.
It's
so
easy
to
see.
H
I
mean
there's,
there's
bits
of
information
that
will
pop
out
to
you
from
that
dashboard
that
you
can
then
go
away
and
take
into
your
cluster
meetings
or
your
local
LCP
meetings,
and
things
like
that.
So
big
big
support
for
using
the
social
Progress
Index
as
a
sort
of
collective
monitoring
tool
for
all
of
us
to
engage
with.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
foreign.
A
's
very
well
behaved
today,
so,
okay,
so
well.
The
recommendation
on
this
one
is
to
note
the
content
of
the
report.
Consider
any
further
scrutiny
actions
that
may
arise.
It
sounds
like
you're
going
to
be
coming
back
to
see
us
quite
soon
anyway.
So
yeah
everybody
happy
with
that.
To
note
the
reports
yep.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
A
This
report
provides
a
summary
of
the
latest
performance
information
relating
to
outcomes
for
Leeds
children
and
young
people.
We
have
Erica
joining
us
I'll,
let
you
get
settled
in
and
then
you
can
introduce
yourself
when
we
get
to
so
I.
Don't
know
who
wants
to
take
the
lead
on
this?
It's
castle
of
Anna
I'll.
F
Just
make
one
comment
on
my
bit
of
the
performance
report
in
terms
of
children's
social
care.
I
think
the
only
figure
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
is
which
she
will
have
all
picked
up
on
in
reading.
The
report
is
the
increased
number
of
children
who
are
looked
after
I
mean
that's.
A
national
picture
leads,
you
know,
is
it
is.
We
have
got
an
increased
number
of
looks
of
children,
as
has
pretty
much
everywhere
else,
and
there
are
lots
of
reasons
for
that.
F
Not
least
the
impact
of
poverty
and
the
cost
of
living
crisis
is
a
really
well
evidenced,
link
between
being
in
debt,
professional,
being
taken
into
care
while
being
in
childhood
need
and
Child
Protection
plans,
and
we
also
in
Leeds,
have
a
high
number
of
uncomfortable
design
of
seeking
children
which
we're
really
proud
of.
As
a
city.
That's
you
know
a
diverse
welcoming
city
of
sanctuary,
but
that
is
also
part
of
the
increased
numbers.
F
Is
that
the
children
that
we're
supporting,
who
are
Asylum
Seekers,
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
really
and
when
we
come
on
to
the
cost
saving
proposals
for
next
year,
you
will
have
read
that
we've
got
a
number
that
are
around
trying
to
reduce
the
number
of
particularly
adolescents
coming
into
care,
which
is
one
of
the
big
pressures
and
that's
again,
a
national
picture
that
we've
got
more
adolescence
coming
into
care
and
they
tend
to
come
in
with
really
complex
needs
and
be
survivors
of
multiple
layers
of
trauma.
F
R
Thank
you,
microphone's
working
now
excellent
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
some
quite
good
news
from
this
report.
I
know,
often
in
this
board.
We
are
not
always
blessed
with
with
good
news,
but
to
just
draw
the
board's
attention
to
appendix
3
on
the
attainment
results.
Now
this
is
the
first
time
we've
had
some
attainment
results
since
the
pandemic,
so
any
comparisons
are
back
to
2019,
which
is
quite
difficult.
So
really
it's
next
year,
where
we'll
be
doing
most
of
the
comparators
barn
key
stage.
R
Four,
all
of
our
attainment
data
is
up
on
2019.
Children
are
doing
better
in
every
area,
but
I
think
we're
particularly
proud
of
the
progress.
Eight
scores
on
key
stage.
Four
we've
got
a
score
of
positive
0.11.
This
is
higher
than
the
national
average.
It's
significantly
higher
than
our
statistical
neighbors,
it's
higher
than
the
core
Cities
average,
and
it's
higher
than
the
Yorkshire
and
Humber
average,
and
really
I
just
want
to
put
on
record
my
enormous
thanks.
R
All
our
teachers,
the
schools,
the
academies,
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job,
and
it's
really
clear
that
schools
and
Leeds
are
are
just
helping.
Children
in
Leeds
get
above
and
beyond
you
know,
and
when
we
talk
about
some
of
the
learning
outcomes
for
social
Mobility,
it's
exactly
this.
It's
the
progress,
eight
score
that
is
going
to
affect
that
social
mobility
and
so
yeah
just
really
want
to
put
on
record
the
incredible
job
that
all
of
our
teachers
do.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Council
Pryor,
any
of
the
officer
team,
Eric
I
only
introduce
yourself
and
then
I,
don't
know,
there's
anything
any
further
introduction
before
we
go
into
questions
comments.
L
Q
No
really
other
just
to
I
suppose,
just
to
reiterate
that
this
report
is
provided
twice
a
year.
It
does
give
the
best
available
data
on
the
delivery
of
the
councils
and
the
city's
priorities,
and
that's
in
line
with
the
council's
Performance
Management
framework
and
really
it's
here
to
provide
Assurance
to
the
board
of
the
work,
that's
underway
against
those
priorities.
Q
And
it
also
does
highlight
and
I
think,
as
we've
heard
already,
the
two
additional
priorities
or
measures
that
are
now
included
in
the
best
city,
ambition
and
I'll
stop
there
and
be
very
happy
to
take
questions
and
comments.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
so
we
have
got
three
recommendations
to
work
towards.
If
you
keep
in
mind
we're
answering
asking
questions
is
just
to
note
that
progress
and
performance
note
the
inclusion
of
two
children's
measures
in
the
the
best
city-
ambition,
as
it's
been
alluded
to
already
and
then
review
the
attainment
data
which
has
been
alluded
to
and
included
for
the
first
time
since
the
2018-19
academic
year,
and
it's
very
positive.
So
so
questions
comments.
Yes,
hello,
please,
foreign.
A
G
Just
wanted
to
ask
about
the
figures
for
Children,
looked
after
just
in
terms
of
how
that
breaks
down
in
relation
to
children
who
are
placed
in
foster
care
and
children
have
placed
in
kinship
care,
because
I
know
from
sort
of
past
experience
that
quite
often
children
will
be
placed
with
relatives
who
are
then
quite
reluctant
for
them
to
move
from
being
looked
after
onto
like
a
special
guardianship
or
residence
hall
and
I
wonder
to
what
extent
poverty
finances
might
be
impacting
on
that
in
terms
of
their
reluctance,
because
obviously
they'd
get
more
financial
assistance
if
the
children
were
looked
after
than
if
they
were
on
private
Section,
8
or
guardianship
orders.
G
Are
you
finding
that
there's
a
reluctance
to
for
family
members
or
friends
to
move
away
from
the
support
of
the
local
Authority,
and
is
there
more
we
can
do
as
well
just
looking
at
the
figures
around
potential
parents
that
have
had
more
than
one
child
enter
care
that
looks
quite
static
as
I've
been
any
sort
of
evidence
or
information
that
suggests
that
we're
making
any
progress
in
relation
to
that
or
not
because
I
know,
that's
been
quite
a
problem
for
some
time.
Q
I'm
happy
to
respond,
so
we
do
have
one
of
the
biggest
kinship
care
and
services
in
the
country.
We
have
a
large
kinship
care
team
and
we
have
developed
and
we
started
it
before
the
pandemic
and
and
we
have
been
able
to
meet
face
to
face
since
the
pandemic,
with
a
group
of
parents
and
carers
who
have
lived
experience
and
within
that
group
we
do
have
kinship
carers,
so
we
have
grandparents,
we
have
aunts,
we
have
uncles
who
are
looking
after
children
within
the
extended
family
and
we've
really.
Q
Q
So
it's
that
emotional
support
and
as
well
as
the
Practical
support
in
terms
of
our
offer
to
kinship
carers
and
to
Foster
carers,
and
also
to
carers,
with
special
guardianship
orders
again
and
within
the
region
and
within
the
country
that
it's
a
very,
very
rich
offer.
And
again,
that's
both
in
terms
of
Finance,
but
also
in
terms
of
The
Wider
offer.
You
know
whether
that's
activities
across
the
city
which
are
open
to
Children
and
Families.
Q
You
know
whether
that's
breaks
you
know
respite
breaks,
so
it's
it's
I.
Suppose
it's
about
looking
at
it
in
its
totality,
and
we
do
have
you
know
the
recommendation.
Q
The
real
emphasis
in
terms
of
the
national
care
review
obviously
is
to
increase
the
number
of
children
who
are
able
to
remain
with
families,
and
we
have
just
established
a
new
chief
officer
post,
which
has
a
whole
on
family
health
and
in
implementing
those
recommendations
and
key
to
that,
for
us
is
working
hand
in
glove
with
our
existing
kinship
carers
to
take
their
views
into
account.
You
know
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
their
feedback
which
will
help
us
shape.
Q
You
know,
shape
our
services
as
we
go
forward.
So
farads
within
leads
it's
Central
to
ethos,
and
it's
all
it's
almost
a
sanctity
of
family.
You
know
and
wherever
it
is
safe
and
appropriate
for
children
to
remain
with
family,
then
that
is
what
we
do.
We
have
a
family
links.
Q
Programming
leads
as
well,
so,
even
when
we're
in
a
position
where
children
have
to
come
into
care,
then
what
we
do
do
is
we
continue
to
look
for
extended
family
so
constantly
looking
at.
Actually,
how
can
these
children
be
reunified
back
with
family?
We
do
have
two
homes
in
Leeds,
which
we
call
our
fit
homes
and
they've
got
a
real.
It's
family
integration,
it's
part
of
the
multi-systemic
therapy
model,
so
it's
an
Evidence
based
model.
Their
whole
focus
is
on
reunification.
Q
We've
done
some
analysis
of
this
over
the
years,
and
we
know
that
there's
some
particular
factors
if
you
like,
which,
where
they
are
in
place,
it
will
be
much
more
likely
that
a
child
is
likely
to
achieve
successful
reunification
with
family.
So,
as
an
you
know,
it's
simple
things
as
an
example
where
a
child
is
perhaps
coming
to
care
at
a
young
age
but
has
been
able
to
maintain
contact
with
family
and
whoever
that
might
be.
Q
We
know
that
it's
much
more
likely
that
we
will
achieve
successful
reunification,
so
our
fit
Homes
at
times
will
have
children
who
a
resident
who
are
placed
in
those
homes
are
a
fit.
Mst
teams
will
work
with
parents
and
with
the
children
to
achieve
that
successful
reunification.
So
there's
a
whole
host
of
work
going
on
around
kinship
care
around.
Q
You
know
for
our
children,
who
are
looked
after,
perhaps
but
placed
with
parents
or
with
families
to
move
those
into
special
guardianship,
offers
orders
and
our
offer
around.
That
is
key,
I
suppose.
Q
In
response
to
your
question,
around
parents
who
have
had
one
child
removed
again,
that's
been
a
real
Focus
for
us
in
Leeds
and
we
developed
the
futures
service
and
which
is
a
service
which
works
with
parents
such
as
25
and
below
and
who
have
had
their
first
child
removed
again
the
feedback
that
we
have
from
those
parents
in
terms
of
what
would
have
made
a
difference.
Q
You
know
what
what
they
feel
could
have
been
done.
Better
is
absolutely
key,
so
there's
an
absolute
link
between
that
program,
what
we
hear
from
those
parents
and
how
we
feed
that
back
into
improving
practice
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
with
health
at
the
moment
and
as
part
of
the
sort
of
trauma-informed
approach
is
we're
talking
about
Health,
investing
within
Children's
Services,
so
that
we
can
really
take
Futures
and
move
it
much
more
Upstream
in
terms
of
a
preventative
measure.
Q
So
again,
looking
at
young
parents
looking
at
parents
who
may
be
likely
to
to
to
struggle
I
suppose
you
know
and
have
challenges
around
parenting,
so
that
against
some
of
the
learning
that
we've
had
at
Futures
can
be
moved
further
into
early
intervention
and
prevention.
So
for
us
and
to
be
honest,
it's
this
is
Central
to
what
we
do
in
terms
of
our
values
and
principles.
F
Thank
you,
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
couple
of
points.
So
the
old
part
part
all
party
Parliament
should
go
from
kinship
care.
Did
a
report
I
think
it
was
2021
though,
and
they
did
single
out
leads
as
an
example
of
good
practice,
because
I
think
at
that
point
our
rate
of
children
that
are
in
kinship
care
was
about
29
30
in
the
National
Lab,
which
was
20.
So,
as
Julie
said,
we
do
have
a
really
high
number
of
kinship
families.
F
Most
children
that
are
in
care
and
Leeds
are
in
Foster
families,
including
kinship
care,
but
we
have
a
higher
percentage
that
our
carers
you're
right,
though,
that
Foster
families
are
sometimes
reluctant
to
move
into
sgos
because
they
feel
they'll
be
disadvantaged
and
we
are
launching
an
even
sort
of
better
offering
leads
around
sgos
in
terms
of
what's
in
our
control.
So
it
used
to
be
things
like.
F
You've
got
free,
gym
membership
if
you're
a
foster
family,
but
not
if
you
know,
if
you
go
to
a
Leisure
centers,
if
you
were
a
foster
family
but
that
stopped
for
your
sgo
family.
So
things
like
that
we've
been
able
to
change,
but
some
of
the
disadvantages
built
into
the
benefits
system.
So
it's
National.
So,
although
we
can
Lobby
on
that,
it's
not
something.
F
That's
in
our
control,
in
the
same
way
that
some
of
the
other
things
like
access
to
therapeutic
Social,
Work
team
are
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
add
a
comment
about
Futures
the
reason.
One
of
the
reasons
we
established
Futures
is
because
we
realized
we
were
removing
children
from
our
own
care
leavers
and
that's
a
national
picture
of
people
who've
been
in
care
themselves
than
having
their
own
children,
removed
and
repeat,
removal
of
children,
and
it's
it's
just
multi-generational
trauma,
so
Futures
is
really
important
in
Australia
said
it's
a
it's!
F
It's
a
very
good
example
of
our
values
and
it
it's.
It
has
huge
cost
savings
both
in
human
cost,
but
also
in
terms
of
obviously
the
financial
cost
of
children
being
in
care,
and
it
it's
really
specifically
as
Judas
that
works
with
young
women
and
young
men
who
are
under
25
and
I've
already
had
one
child
removed.
F
Because
there's
a
statistic:
I
can't
remember
it
precisely
so
I
think
it's
something
like
if
you've
had,
if
you've
had
a
child
removed
by
the
time,
you're
20
you've
got
a
high
chance
having
more
than
one
more
removed
by
the
time
of
30..
It's
a
really
horrifying
statistic.
So
working
with
children
with
children
with
young
people
at
a
young
age,
you've
already
had
one
child
removed
is
really
effective
and
Futures
has
won
awards.
It's
been
evaluated.
It's
very
well
evidenced
in
terms
of
the
you
know,
the
the
impact
on
families.
Thank
you.
M
Sorry,
just
a
couple
of
other
bits
to
add:
if
that's
okay,
I
think
in
terms
of
kinship
placements,
it's
much
easier
to
place
younger
children
in
those
kinship
placements
and
to
support
as
Council,
veteran
and
Julie
have
talked
about.
One
of
the
challenges
we've
got
at
the
moment
or
real
challenges
around
is
around
how
we
support
adolescents,
whether
you
know
really
struggling
just
as
a
result
of
probably
the
Pandemic
those
mental
health
issues,
difficulties
around
contextual,
safeguarding
and
you'll,
see
in
a
later
paper.
M
There's
some
proposals
there
around
how
we
support
young
people
differently
too,
if
they
do
come
into
care,
get
them
back
home
again
and
it's
all
those
areas
Julie
discussed
around
are
using
our
multi-systemic
therapy.
But
again,
that's
a
much
more
challenging
area
that
we
really
committed
to
focusing
on
at
the
moment
and
to
enable
family
members
to
feel
confident
in
caring
for
those
young
people.
G
I
was
just
going
to
yeah
just
in
terms
of
in
relate,
so
that's
all
really
encouraging,
especially
hearing
about
Futures.
That's
that's
really
sort
of
you
know
positive
progress
in
terms
of
that
difficulty
about
more
than
one
child
being
removed.
Are
you
fat
again?
Are
you
finding
that
often
relatives
are
able
to
maybe
take
on
one
child,
but
it
may
be
harder
for
them
to
take
on
a
second
again.
G
Are
you
finding
that
there
are
any
sort
of
financial
barriers
in
relation
to
that,
and
just
in
terms
of
actually,
obviously
the
obsession
of
reducing
the
number
of
looked
after
children
just
out
of
interest?
Do
you
have
any
data
or
percentage
figures
in
terms
of
the
number
of
children
who,
when
they
initially
removed
and
placed
in
foster
care
on
a
care
about
that
and
are
therefore
looked
after?
How
many
of
those
then
do
move
on
to
Alternative
orders
and
then
no
longer
looked
after.
Q
Q
I
suppose
for
us,
that's
about
you,
know,
really
us
working
hand
in
glove
with
those
carers
and
making
that
investment.
You
know
again
in
relationships
in
time
in
trust,
whether
it
is
finance
or
whether
it
is
practical
support
at
the
end
of
the
day.
You
know
we
know
the
cost
to
the
public
purse
of
having
a
child
in
care
is
huge.
But,
more
importantly,
we
know
that
the
outcomes
for
those
children
are
poor,
and
so
we
will
do
our
utmost.
Q
You
know
whether
that
is
financial
support,
practical
sport,
emotional
support,
whether
it
is,
as
Ruth
has
said,
really
I,
suppose
supporting
peers
and
carers
to
develop
an
Insight
around
trauma.
You
know
and
responding
to
trauma
understanding
trauma
whether
it's
adolescent
brain
development,
you
know,
so
we
have
a
range
of
what
would
you
say,
lectures
sessions,
workshops
which
are
not
only
available
to
our
foster
careers
but
which
are
available
to
our
kinship
carers
and
to
our
sgo
care.
It's
so
you
know,
but
having
said
that,
you
know
to
you
know.
Q
Obviously
every
child
is
different,
you
know.
So
if
you
you
know,
you
have
one
child.
If
you
have
two
children,
three
children
you're
dealing
with
different
needs
in
them
as
little
individuals
in
their
own
right,
and
that
brings
additional
challenges.
You
can
also
have
the
relationships
between
those
siblings
can
impact.
You
know
as
well.
So
it's
it's
it's
complex
as
you
know,
but
that's
where
we
have
to
you
know
we
have
to
deal
with
it
on
a
family
by
family
A
Child
by
child
situation.
Q
A
K
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
first
of
all
for
the
report
and
and
also
well
done
for
the
positives
as
we're
in
that
report.
I
just
want
to
focus.
I
was
very
interested
to
read
the
report,
especially
all
of
the
data,
the
data
on
page
51
at
the
bottom,
which
is
on
zero.
Carbon
was
I,
thought
was
very
interesting.
Reading,
I
I
would
right
the
sustainable
travel
modes.
I
know
collecting
data
is
difficult,
but
it
would
have
been
nice
to
see
some
data
on
that
journey
to
school.
K
Sorry,
if
I
keep
repeating
this
sort
of
thing,
but
so
I
found
that
interesting
as
well.
It
also
highlights
the
problems
with
the
buses,
especially
the
effect
that
kovitz
had,
but
to
me
the
more
interesting,
although
it's
not
particularly
to
do
with
this.
This
scrutiny
board
is
to
highlight
the
data
above
it
about
the
proportion
of
homes
with
EPCC
ratings
or
better.
K
It
compares
the
core
cities.
Yes,
but
if
you
look
at
that,
the
social
the
social
rent
is,
in
fact
the
best
there.
So
I
was
just
wanting
to
sort
of
flag
that
up
as
interesting
data
generally,
really
that
people
might
not
might
have
missed
when
they
got
to
the
bottom
of
page
51..
Okay,.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Cash
Plus
any
comments
on
any
of
those
points
in
small
comments
than
a
question,
so
so
I'll
I'll
move
on
to
Jackie.
Next,
please.
C
I
I'm,
just
looking
at
Denise
and
now's
known
figures,
that's
concerned
me
I.
Think
they're
they've
gone
up
a
bit,
but
I'm
just
wondering.
Is
this
because
of
covert,
or
is
this
just
for
this
year?
As
such
and
I'm
glad
there's,
you
know,
we've
got
a
positive,
destination's
manager.
You
know
that's
been
brought
into
this
system,
so
that
would
make
it
a
lot
easier,
but
I
was
just
wondering.
Is
it
is
it
because
of
where
we
actually
get
figures
from?
N
So
the
the
information
about
where
young
people
go
for
the
young
people
who
are
in
school
six
form
or
colleges
we
are
provided
with
information
from
those
institutions,
and
then
we
update
that
into
into
the
system
for
young
people
who
are
not
informal
education
or
employment.
There
is
work
to
be
done
to
identify
those
young
people
and
work
with
them
to
one
work
out
what
their
current
status
is
and
then
hopefully
progress
them
in
a
a
program
to
some
form
of
sustained
education
or
training.
N
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
done
each
September
onwards
in
terms
of
collecting
collating
information
working
with
the
providers,
both
those
providers
who
are
based
in
leads-
and
those
pervades
excuse
me
those
located
outside-
leads
collecting
that
information.
So
we
have
a
clear
picture
of
of
the
total
cohorts
and
then
we
can
do
work
with
those
who
are
in
the
OR
at
risk
categories.
Those
who
are
either
currently
needs
or
perhaps
are
on
a
pathway
towards
being
neat.
So
we
can
try
and
head
that
off
in
the
first
place,.
Q
I
think,
as
Chris
is
alluded
to
as
well,
it's
quite
a
complex
picture
in
terms
of
data
and
people,
sort
of
gather
it
in
different
ways.
They
gather
it
in
different
times.
Q
They
gather
it
on
different
systems
and
so
really
a
real
Focus
for
us
going
forward
and
I
think
it's
referenced
in
the
report
is
just
how
we
do
collate
that
manage
it
analyze
it,
but
also
how
we
work
with
key
Partners
in
the
system,
as
Chris
has
said,
both
within
leads,
but
also
clearly,
we
have
schools
in
other
authorities
that
children
go
to
so
again.
Q
G
Just
wanted
to
ask
about
early
years,
because
I
know:
we've
we've
been
pretty
good
in
terms
of
our
efforts
around
eyfs
and
we've
had
the
benefit
of
the
children's
centers
as
well.
But
just
looking
at
the
report,
figures
are
a
bit
disappointing
on
that.
Actually,
so
what
what?
What
sort
of?
What's?
What's
the
plan
in
terms
of
looking
to
try
and
improve
that,
particularly
in
relation
to
boys
as
well.
Q
Yeah,
so
we've
got
a
real
focus
on
this,
as
you
would
expect
last
year,
I
think
it
was
last
year
and
maybe
even
been
the
end
of
the
year
before
we
entered
into
a
partnership
with
Nesta,
who
are
a
National
Organization,
there's
ourselves
and
we're
working
with
two
other
local
authorities,
just
I
suppose
really
to
reimagine
our
early
years
and
provision
in
Leeds
and
the
program
is
called
theoristat
and
the
favorite
start
scheme.
Q
I
think
it's
referenced
in
the
paper
and
we
had
a
discovery
phase
where
we
worked
with
Nestor
and
we
worked
with
the
other
two
local
authorities
to
really
look
at
the
data.
Look
at
our
performance
data
again
get
feedback
from
children
from
families
around
what
they
thought
and
what
we
thought
the
priority
should
be
what's
come
out
of.
Q
That
is
an
absolute
clear
priority,
around
communication
speech
and
language
within
the
city,
and
we
feel
that
that
will
make
the
biggest
difference
if
you
like,
or
the
biggest
Improvement,
in
the
priorities
that
are
outlined
in
the
paper
today.
So
as
part
of
that,
just
as
an
example,
we
are
working
with
the
communication
speech
and
language
service
with
children's
centers
with
early
years.
Providers
with
libraries
and
again
key
to
this
is
early
identification.
Q
So
if
we
can
skill
up
the
workforce
right
across
the
city
in
terms
of
being
able
to
identify
the
earliest
opportunity
where
they
think
a
child
may
have
a
potential
challenge
their
own
speech,
you
know
communication
speech
and
language,
we're
going
to
be
best
placed
to
respond
to
that
and
we're
also
doing
some
work
and
a
program
called
Peak.
Q
Parents
is
early
Educators.
So
again,
that's
really
working
with
parents
and
carers
to
support
them
to
have
a
real
role
in
their
children's
learning,
and
we
have
workshops
going
on
right
across
the
piece
in
terms
of
you
know
whether
it's
with
the
the
wide
early
years
opportunities,
but
also
our
own
little
owl
settings
around
assessments.
Looking
at
some
of
the
tools
that
we've
developed
when
we
respond
to
children
who
have
special
educational
needs
and
disability,
and
so
there's
a
real
focus
on
this.
Q
The
other
thing
that
we
are
doing
everyone
is
looking
at
our
data
and
we've
got
two
reports
which
will
be
coming
out
from
Nestor
and
from
that
work
this
year,
which
will
and
I
suppose
further
develop.
Q
You
know
the
program,
that's
underway,
so
again
an
absolute
focus
on
this
area,
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
did
and
the
information
has
just
been
gathered.
It
was
around
engagement
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
know,
if
we're
going
to
really
support
children,
and
you
your
comment
about
boys,
but
also
about
children
and
from
black
Asian
minority
ethnic
backgrounds.
You
know,
then
we
have
to
have
them
in
our
settings.
You
know
so
one
of
the
things
we've
been
looking
at
is:
what
are
the
barriers?
Q
You
know
where
we
have
some
settings
who
are
doing
really
really
well
in
terms
of
engaging
with
those
families,
but
actually
we
have
certain
into
a
paper.
You
know
not
doing
so.
Well.
What
is
the
difference,
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
consultation,
work
with
families
and
communities
around
that
again,
so
that
you
know
they're
telling
us
and
that
having
a
direct
influence
on
how
we
improve
our
practice
in
that
area.
G
Isn't
it
reading
a
lot
of
those
early
years
books?
There's
a
lot
of
rhyme?
There's
like
you
know
them
hearing
stories
and
things
and
I
think
if
we
can
really
look
to
sort
of
drive
through
the
the
reading
side
of
things
and
the
availability
of
books
for
All
Families
in
all
communities
in
different
places,
I
think
that
would
really
help.
Wouldn't
it
definitely.
Q
In
a
way,
that's
why
I
suppose
it
comes
back
to
the
obsessions
you
know
and
in
some
ways
and
narrowing
it
right
down
to
you
know,
activity
that
we
know
we
believe
there's
an
evidence-based
will
make
that
difference,
and
we
know
that
reading
is
a
determinant
in
terms
of
children's
future
outcomes.
So
we've
already
heard
in
terms
of
the
best
city
ambition
that
really
you
know
we
want
that
absolute
focus
on
reading.
Q
So
when
we
talk
about
reading,
you
know
certainly
within
the
director
in
the
partnership,
it's
Everest,
but
his
business,
whether
you're
a
health
visitor,
whether
you're
a
social
worker,
whether
you're
an
early
Health
practitioners
you're
going
into
families.
You
know
having
that
conversation
about
reading.
Q
You
know.
Certainly
you
know
and
from
my
own
experience
I've
been
worked
in
children
centers
and
managed
children's
centers.
You
know
you
know.
We
know
that
we're
parents
or
carers
themselves
have
challenges
with
their
own
literacy
that
there's
something
about
confidence.
Actually
you
know
and
how
we
support
them
and
again,
depending
on
their
own
experience
and
how
they've
been
parented
I've
even
playing.
You
know,
parents
that
don't
really
have
the
confidence.
Q
You
know
again
thinking
about
fathers,
Young
Fathers,
you
know
to
sit
down
and
really
play
with
with
children,
so
it
really
is
taking
us
right
back
to
some
simple
fundamentals.
L
If
I
can
just
add
a
bit
to
what
Julie
said
and
reading
has
been
a
huge
Focus
for
us,
it
was
one
of
the
priorities
in
the
Three
A's
refresh
strategy
in
primary
We've,
carried
out
132
and
reading
deep
Dives
in
primary
schools.
L
Looking
at
early
reading
and
I'm,
not
saying
it's
entirely
due
to
this,
but
I
think
there
is
a
causal
link
between
the
Improvement
in
the
phonics
data
and
the
amount
of
focus
that
we've
had
on
that
area,
and
we
are
involved
in
other
things
as
well
like
a
research
project
with
University
of
Leeds
on
early
reading,
and
we
have
also
focused
quite
a
lot
on
struggling
readers
and
Beyond
early
readers
so
that
those
problems
are
not
just
for
young
children.
L
A
lot
of
secondary
schools
are
also
noticing
that
they've
got
more
children
who
have
a
reading
age
below
their
chronological
age,
and
we've
got
a
conference
on
the
24th
of
March,
which
is
for
primary
and
secondary,
and
it's
devoted
entirely
to
to
reading
and
supporting
readers
at
all
ages.
K
I,
just
wonder
whether
you
might
like
to
make
any
comments
about
the
Clusters
can
I
just
say
from
a
point
of
view
of
looking
at
data,
although
obviously
I
know
which
my
particular
cluster
is,
and
some
of
them
are
obvious
as
to
which
which
Wards
they
cover
some
of
them
aren't
and
when
it
would
be
helpful,
I
think,
probably
for
the
board
to
actually
know
which
what
some
of
them,
which
are
obviously
not
obvious,
I,
don't
know
where
epos
is,
for
example,
I.
Q
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
Yeah
I
mean
really
the
Clusters
are
absolutely
key
and
to
have
a
whole
approach
in
leads
so
really
I.
Suppose
the
Clusters
are
about
locality
working,
but
they
are
about
that
multi-agency,
professional
partnership,
working
hand
and
love
with
our
schools
and
with
our
colleagues
in
education-
and
you
know
we
know
the
essentiality
you
know
of
schools
in
terms
of
early
intervention
and
prevention.
Q
So
again
thinking
about
the
national
care
review
and
the
recommendations
that
are
coming
out
of
that
review
and
and
the
fact
that
there
is
a
recommendation
around
the
establishment
of
family
help
teams
and
those
teams
or
Services
being
multidisciplinary,
that
they
will
be
based
in
a
local
Geographic
footprint
that
they
will
work
to
local
needs
analysis.
You
know
so
they'll
really
understand
the
children
that
are
in
their
their
areas.
They'll
know
the
children,
they'll
know
the
needs
and
they
will
develop
their
services
and
their
response
in
relation
to
that.
Q
So
in
leads
we're
very,
very
well
placed
to
begin
to
have
those
conversations
which
we
are
doing
with
the
Clusters
around
well.
Actually,
what
does
that
family
help
service?
Look
like
in
Leeds
as
we
go
forward,
I
think
the
other,
the
beauty
of
the
Clusters
that
we
have
as
well
is
that
when
we
do
come
to
so
as
an
example,
thinking
about
leads
as
a
trauma,
informed,
City
and
thinking
about
how
we
want
to
roll
out.
You
know
training
across
the
partnership.
Q
Q
Services
leads
so
we've
you
know:
we've
had
we
call
them
tsls,
so
our
targeted
Services
leads
who
work
in
clusters,
who
are
really
the
interface
between
the
Clusters
and
Children
and
Families
front
door,
and
other
agencies
and
I
could
talk
forever
about
clusters,
because
you
know
the
contribution
that
they
make
to
to
the
city
and
our
early
Health
strategy
and
is
absolutely
key.
During
the
pandemic.
Q
We
established
three
bronze
groups,
so
we
had
a
bronze
group
in
the
South
one
in
the
East
and
one
in
the
west
and
they
were
almost
I
suppose
we
really
wanted
to
sort
of
create
something
almost
at
the
next
level
up
from
clusters.
So
a
little
bit
more
sort
of
strategic
in
terms
of
that
bigger
footprint,
they've
been
really
really
useful.
So
again,
there's
teachers,
there's
a
third
sector.
There's
pcsos,
you
know
they're
all
the
professionals,
health
professionals
and
who
have
come
together
on
a
monthly
sort
of
six
weekly
bi-monthly
basis.
Q
Just
to
talk
about
some
of
the
issues,
some
of
the
themes
that
are
arising
from
the
Clusters
and
then
having
a
bit
more
of
that
strategic
response
on
a
bigger
Geographic
footprint,
and
so
I'll,
probably
finish
by
saying
we
could
not
do
without
the
Clusters.
You
know
the
Clusters
are
key,
but
it's
about
building
on
that
net.
You
know
so
you
know.
What's
the
future
in
terms
of
family
health,
multidisciplinary
work
in
integrated
working
sharing,
information,
reducing
bureaucracy
and
how
we
use
our
assets.
Q
You
know
we're
at
a
time
when
we've
got
you
know
and
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
terms
of
budget.
You
know
looking
at
what
assets
we've
got
within
the
Clusters
and
how
we're
using
those
domestic
effects.
A
H
H
It's
really
interesting
to
see
some
of
the
figures
on
that
sheet
of
information
about
clusters,
and
particularly
looking
at
the
safe
from
harm
figures
where
it
says
rptt,
is
that
adjusted
for
the
population
for
the
number
of
children
in
the
area
yeah,
so
we've
got
the
the
list
of
deprivation
from
the
IMD
along
one
side
of
it,
and
actually
what
we're
seeing
is
it's
not
the
well,
it's
not
the
it's
not
always.
H
It
doesn't
always
correspond
where
they
are
in
that
list
of
deprivation
to
to
the
number
of
children
who
are
have
open
child
and
need
cases
or
protection
plans.
H
For
example,
I'm
looking
at
the
one
that
covers
the
ward
that
I
represent
and
I
can
see
that
we've
got
the
highest
number
of
children
subject
to
a
child
protection
plan
of
any
of
the
rest
of
the
clusters
when,
when
adjusted
for
population,
so
I'm
just
wondering
how
well
this
then
feeds,
because
what
what
this
is
showing
here
is
potentially
a
not
a
different
story,
but
potentially
an
additional
set
of
data
that
we
can
add
to
other
other
indices
that
we
know
about
about
locations
and
about
areas
of
the
city
where
the
this
sort
of
face
value
list
of
IMD
factors.
H
May
mask
some
of
this
stuff,
that's
specifically
affecting
children
in
in
the
area.
I'm
just
wondering
how
how
this
data
from
clusters,
which
I
think
is
really
vital
and
really
useful.
It
feeds
into
any
broader
strategies
that
the
council
has,
for
example,
I
I
know
that
sea,
Croft
and
manston
cluster
that
I
work
with
has
been,
as
Julie
said,
absolutely
brilliant.
H
During
the
pandemic,
because
of
the
links,
the
sign
posting
the
immediate
sort
of
response
that
we're
able
to
get
to
families
and,
over
and
above
what
was
what
was
there
from
the
community
hubs
during
the
pandemic
Etc,
but
seeing
some
of
these
the
figures
of
How
High,
particularly
that
area
that
I'm
interested
in
how
high
some
of
these
numbers
are
I'm
wondering
where
that
feeds
into
wider
strategies,
about
whether
it's
child,
poverty
or
other
other
things
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at.
Q
Yeah
I'm
happy
to
respond.
It
absolutely
does
so
and
again.
I
think
it
will
be
even
more
of
a
feature
as
we
go
forward
because,
again
as
we're
having
to
come
together
as
on
a
multi-agency
partnership,
so
Health
police
voluntary
sector,
to
plan
again
what
our
family
health
services
going
to
look
like
as
an
example,
you
know
it's.
Q
This
information
is
absolutely
key
in
terms
of
those
Geographic
areas
in
the
city,
but
also
how
we,
how
we,
how
we
carve
that
up
in
a
sense
in
terms
of
what
those
Family
Health
Services
are
going
to
look
like,
and
we
have
got
some
work
underway
and
Peter
might
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
it,
which
is
funded
through
earned
autonomy,
which
is
all
around.
We
call
it
data
acceleration
and
fund,
and
it
really
is
looking
at
how
we
use
data
across
the
piece.
Q
So
how
not
only
we
use
our
data
in
terms
of
clusters,
but
actually
just
as
you're
saying
really
how
we
layer
on
top
data
that
we've
got
from
a
whole
range
of
you
know:
directives
within
the
council,
but
also
from
our
Partnerships
I,
don't
know
Peter.
If
you
just
wanted
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
data
accelerator.
O
Yeah
I
think
completely
agree.
The
data
is
really
important.
What
you've
got
in
front
of
you
sort
of
an
inlet
from
a
cluster
dashboard.
We've
had
going
for
about
10
years,
so
this
has
been
put
out
there
for
partners
to
use
and
shared
for
for
a
long
time.
So
we
make
the
information
visible.
Surely
says
we
they're
all
data
sets
we
feed
into
you
mentioned
the
social
Progress
Index
before
we
provided
data
that
feeds
into
the
social
Progress
Index
feeds
into
the
joint
strategic
needs
assessment.
O
At
the
moment,
as
Julie
said,
we've
got
some
additional
funding
through
the
data
accelerator
fund
from
the
Department
for
leveling,
up
housing
and
communities
to
con
to
Tribute
to
end
autonomy
and
supporting
families.
O
We're
working
with
the
newly
established
leads
office
of
data
analytics
about
how
we
build
better
data
around
the
fat
child
and
the
family
early
days,
but
a
really
positive
conversations
with
them
I'm
just
starting
to
test
the
water
about.
How
do
we
bring
Health
Data
into
the
into
that
locally?
There's
challenges
about
I
think
we'll
move
faster
on
like
pseudonymized
data
that
you
can
do
at
localities.
O
That's
more
more
of
a
richer
picture,
but
we
also
want
to-
and
this
is
a
challenging
bit-
you
know
have
that
early
identification
of
need-
that's
been
talked
about
today.
So
how
do
you
do
the
IG
stuff?
So
those
conversations
are
there
as
well,
and
we're
also
supporting
the
university
involved
in
this
to
do
some
targeted
work
looking
at
attendance
data,
but
linking
that
to
other
factors
to
see
who's
gone
back
to
school,
who
hasn't
gone
back
to
school,
a
better
understanding
of
need
given
current
circumstances.
That's
an
example.
O
H
Thank
you
just
really
quickly.
That's
great
and
I
know,
as
I
said
in
seacraft,
manston
I,
believe
all
all,
but
one
or
all
of
the
primary
schools
in
my
ward
on
that
side
of
the
Ring
Road
are
now
back
in
the
cluster,
which
is
fantastic.
H
Are
there
any
I?
Don't
know
if
this
is
something
that
can
necessarily
be
answered
if
it's
just
something
that
came
into
my
head,
as
you
were
speaking,
are
there
any
areas
or
clusters
or
parts
of
the
city
where
participation
in
the
cluster
is
low
in
terms
of
the
schools
and
is
there
anything
that
can
be
I?
Think
I
think
all
the
primary
schools
in
my
ward
have
really
seen
the
benefit,
particularly
maybe
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
the
links
and
the
support
and
the
mutual
work
that
that
happened
during
that?
H
The
reason
to
come
back
in
is
there
anything
that
that
we're
concerned
about
in
terms
of
lack
of
Engagement
in
some
areas
of
the
city
or
potentially
with
some
Academy
trusts
in
the
city,
because,
obviously,
especially
the
larger
ones
have
their
own.
You
know
work
about
identifying
need
and
supporting
families,
because
it
just
seems
that
this
is
such
a
powerful
structure
that
we
have
as
part
of
Children
and
Families.
The
Clusters
and
it'd
be
fantastic.
Q
Yeah,
thank
you.
We
had
planned
to
have
a
cluster
celebration
because
you
know,
as
we've
already
said,
the
cluster
and
the
Clusters
and
the
work
that
they
do
are
Central
to
our
early
help
approach.
We
had
to
delete
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
it
absolutely
is
the
plan
that
we
will
have
a
cluster
celebration
later
this
year,
heart
I,
suppose
of
part
of
the
reason
for
wanting
to
do.
That
is
that
we
recognize
that
we
will
have
had
teachers.
Q
Deputy
heads
who
are
new
to
the
city,
who
may
not
be
aware
of
the
history
of
the
Clusters,
might
not
be
aware
of
the
Fantastic
work
that
that
that
structure
provides
really
so
there's
something
about
actually
celebrating
there's
something
about
sharing
best
practice,
because
there's
some
fantastic
practice
that
goes
right
across
different
clusters,
but
also
engaging
with
our
schools
right
across
the
city.
Q
In
terms
of
the
benefits
of
the
of
the
you
know,
of
the
cluster
model
and
I
think,
as
I've
already
said,
I
think
as
we
move
into
thinking
about
our
response
to
the
National
care
review.
That
provides
another
opportunity
for
us
to
engage
with
schools
and
with
other
partners
about.
Essentially
how
are
we
going
to
support
children
at
a
locality
level,
and
so.
A
Thank
you
and
it's
worth
record
this
board's
done
a
lot
of
work
on
clusters
over
the
years.
It
might
be
something
that'd
be
useful
to
get
an
update
on
at
some
point
in
perhaps
later
in
the
year,
just
to
to
answer
some
of
those
questions
and
revisit
some
of
what
we
did
previously.
A
Okay,
so
I've
got
two
more
people
with
questions
or
comments.
We'll
take
those
and
we'll
wrap
up
on
on
this
item,
so
councilor
Bowden
and
then
Helen
I
will
take
them
both
and
then
we
can
sum
up
on
this.
J
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
sort
of
actually
highlight
where
I
I
think
we
can
see
the
efforts
that
we're
making
in
regards
to
sort
of
phonics
actually
because
I
think
comparing
ourselves
with
it's
quite
hard
to
compare
ourselves
nationally,
because
we
have
very
different
situations
compared
to
the
National
figure,
but
actually
comparing
us
to
the
core
cities
where
we've
got
some
levels
of
deprivation
and
other
indicators
like
with
leads
being
such
a
fantastic
Sanctuary
City
having
those
children,
who've
got
English,
traditional
language
needs
and
on
or
even
new
to
English.
J
Actually,
we
we're
doing
we're
doing
higher
than
in
comparison
to
the
other
court
citizen.
That
might
be
an
indicator
of
the
excellent
work
that
we're
doing
in
regards
to
phonics
and
looking
at
the
results
in
key
stage
one
in
year,
one
and
year
two
we
can,
we
can
see
those
results
being
slightly
higher
and
so
I.
Just
think
that
is
that's
a
a
a
good
positive,
but
something
that
I
I've
in
the
school
that
I
worked
in
for
the
last
four
years.
J
We
did
have
a
high
number
of
children
who
were
in
traditional
language
are
new
to
English,
and
so,
when
I
was
in
conversation
with
other
sort
of
phonic
practitioners
and
interventionists
actually
I,
my
school
actually
could
deal
with
that
level,
somehow
better
than
schools
who
might
have
had
a
smaller
number,
because
I
think
for
them.
J
Try
trying
to
bring
children
with
others
can
be
incredibly
difficult
if
there's
just
maybe
one
or
two
in
the
class,
whereas
in
mine
a
lot
of
the
children
were
in
that
in
that
same
boat
and
actually
they
could
learn
with
one
another
as
well.
J
So
I
guess,
with
a
lot
of
difficulties
that
we've
got
in
schools
with
with
budgets
and
stress
levels
on
support
staff
and
teachers.
I,
guess
the
only
the
only
thing
that
sort
of
concerns
me
that
I
was
in
an
advised
surgery
actually
with
someone
who
has
moved
to
Leeds
from
Ukraine
and
around
I
guess
her
concern
for
her.
J
Her
own
daughter
is
actually
her
daughter
was
in
a
very
specific
situation
in
school,
where
there's
not
too
too
many
children,
the
English
additional
language,
so
I
just
think
that
that
actually
those
children
who
have
come
in
quite
recently
from
Ukraine
could
be
a
quite
an
you
know,
be
a
shame
to
see
them
sort
of
slightly
falling
behind,
because
some
schools
might
just
be
struggling
to
if
it's
just
a
one-ar.
Q
See
Erica's
dying
again,
but
I'll,
just
I'll,
never
just
sort
of
say,
I
suppose
in
some
way,
that's
a
bit
about
spreading
the
learning,
isn't
it
and
again
that
whole
conversation
that
we've
just
had
around
Nestor,
really
and
actually
listening
to
parents
listening
to
carers,
what
made
the
difference
for
them?
Q
Why
did
they
go
to
that
Children's,
Center
and
feel
you
know,
I,
don't
know
feel
that
they
could
build
trusted
relationships,
be
honest
about
the
challenges
that
they
were
facing
and
you
know
it's
How
We
Do
spread
the
learning
across
the
piece
but
I'll.
Let
Erica
respond
to
your
particular
point
about.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
just
to
pick
up
on
on
both
points
that
you
made
the
first
one
about
the
the
sort
of
green
shoots
in
some
of
our
data,
the
phonics
data
in
particular,
and
we
saw
a
decrease
in
of
four
percent
in
our
phonics
data,
and
but
that
is
against
the
national
backdrop
of
a
seven
percent
four,
which
means
that
now,
for
the
first
time
ever,
we
are
actually
in
line
with
national
and
at
key
stage.
Two
again.
L
The
word
decreases
both
nationally
and
in
Leeds,
but
our
decrease
was
a
lot
less
and
for
again
we're
just
one
percentage
point
off
National
now,
whereas
there
used
to
be
quite
a
a
huge
gap
between
the
two
and
and
for
the
higher
level
we
were
actually
above
National,
so
I
think
you
can
see
improvements
feeding
through
you
make
a
really
good
point
about
El
children.
We
do
have
a
closing
the
Gap
team.
L
They
offer
a
lot
of
training
and
support,
but
also
you
know
we
have
done
quite
a
lot
of
other
additional
work
as
well
to
support
children
from
Ukraine
and
also
from
other
troubled
countries.
So
there
was
a
Ukrainian
summer
school
over
the
summer
and
which
was
very
successful,
worked
well,
and
but
we
do
do
a
lot
of
training
with
schools
specifically
about
how
to
address
the
needs
of
children
and
with
English
as
an
additional
language
that
is
ongoing.
L
Sorry,
the
only
thing
I
should
have
said
as
well
is
that
we
are
actually
strengthening
the
Staffing
in
that
service,
so
we
will
be
recruiting
in
school
practitioners.
Perhaps
you
know
people
who
worked
in
your
setting
in
in
the
past
so
that
actually
we've
got
that
in
school
experience
as
well,
that
we
can
add
to
our
team.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
and
final
word
to
Helen.
E
Thank
you.
It
was
just
I
wanted
to
make
a
point
about
communication
and
language
and
on
appendix
3.
You
know
we
can
see
that
there's
a
big
focus
in
early
years
on
communication
and
language
and
I
I,
remember
listening
going
to
something
that
Sarah
coltman
put
on
about.
You
know
number
of
words
and
it's
the
number
of
words
that
children
can
understand
and
then
use
and
I
think
Beyond
early
years,
that
that
the
focus
on
that
it
really
goes
or
Peters
out
it.
A
Yeah,
there's
a
there's
a
stat,
that's
all
stuck
in
my
head
on
that.
It's
a
14
year
old
boy
living
outside
the
Ring
Road
in
Leeds
would
have
an
active
vocabulary
of
1400
words
and
inside
the
Ring
Road.
It's
800
words
it's
a
long
time.
So
I
heard
that
start,
but
I
don't
know
if
it's
still,
if
we
still
keep
that
sort
of
data,
but
I
think
it's
it's
quite
a
powerful
important
point.
E
I
think
and
can
I
just
start
as
well,
and
it's
the
implications
of
that
later
on,
because
I
know
my
children,
you
know
you're
talking
and
they're.
Always
they
say.
What's
that
word
mean,
what's
you
know,
and
so
they're
picking
up
language
at
home
or
all
over
the
place
really
and
it's
how
that's
monitored
and
the
impact
of
that
later
on
for
comprehension
and
being
able
to
achieve
in
exams.
L
Yeah
I
think
the
the
study
you're
referring
to
is
the
Risley
heart
study
from
the
70s,
which
founded
something
like
a
half.
A
million
word
gap
between
a
five-year-old
from
a
privileged
family
and
a
child
from
a
non-privileged
family
is
huge,
and
this
is
a
massive
focus
in
schools
now
so
vocabulary,
Focus
happens
at
all
ages,
starting
at
early
years
and
going
right
the
way
through
to
post
16
and
so
every
school
you
go
to.
L
You
will
see
a
focus
on
subject,
terminology,
sophisticated
language
and
what's
called
now
tier,
2
and
tier
three
vocabulary
and
which
are
the
the
kind
of
sophisticated
languages
that
language
that
pupils
need
to
succeed.
Academically
and
lots
of
schools
have
very
innovative
ways
of
developing
that
and
there's
one
particularly
nice
thing
called
the
Freya
model.
Where
you
have
the
the
word
and
you
look
at
the
etymology
and
pupils
have
to
see
it
in
a
sentence
so
that
they
properly
understand
it.
L
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
Okay
right.
So
if
we
go
to
the
the
recommendations,
first
to
note
the
progress
and
performance
presented
in
the
report
considering
the
context
of
other
papers,
so
I
think
we've
done
that
the
B
is
to
note
the
inclusion
of
the
two
children's
measures
in
the
best
city,
ambition,
dashboard,
I,
think
we've
done
that
and
c
I
think.
We've
definitely
reviewed
the
attainment
data
which
is
included
for
the
first
time
since
2018-19
here
so
all
useful
good
stuff.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
contributions
on
that
I'm
going
to
propose.
We
take
a
short
break
for
10
minutes.
You'll
have
a
much
more
glamorous
chair
when
you
go
outside,
so
thank
you.
Everybody
and
the
Council
of
Flynn
will
take
over
for
the
Financial
Health
monitoring
and
the
budget
proposals.
So
if
we
aim
for
five
minutes
and
make
sure
it's
actually
10
ready
to
go
again
and
thank
you
very
much.
D
Foreign
foreign
hi
everybody
just
a
couple
of
words
of
introduction.
First
I
I've,
been
called
a
few
things
in
my
life,
but
glamorous
is
is
not
one
of
them.
Secondly,
I
was
on
this
Security
board
for
a
number
of
years
until
about
two
years
ago
and
I
was
dragged
away
screaming
and
shouting
onto
a
strategy
and
resources.
So
I
I
have
a
very
soft
spot
in
my
heart.
D
For,
for
this
particular
sort
of
scrutiny,
board
I
I've
retained
a
big
interest,
I'm
I'm
still
on
the
corporate
parenting
board,
I'm
the
children's
Champion
for
outer
North
West,
and,
if
is
Val's
still
here,
she'll
know,
I've
got
a
particular
interest
in
children
with
Education
Health
and
Care
plans,
so
I
I,
I'm
not
entirely
sort
of
new
to
it,
and
Helen
and
I
are
both
evertonian
Simon
Everson
season
ticket
holder.
So
please
be
very
gentle
with
me
this
morning.
D
F
I'll
just
make
a
few
introductory
comments
and
then
hand
over
to
I
guess:
Tim,
probably
yeah,
so
this
paper
really
clearly
outlines
the
pressure
that
the
director
is
under
and
shows
that
we've
been
that
we're
overspent,
but
I
wanted
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
work
of
the
task
and
finish
Group,
which,
which
outlines
that
we
would
have
been
a
million
pounds
worse
if
it
wasn't
for
that
group-
and
it's
been
some
really
great
work
across
children's
services
and
housing
in
particular
that
have
mitigated
some
of
the
impacts
of
the
pressure
that
we're
under
so,
for
example,
the
work
across
children's
and
housing
with
the
owls
contract,
which
is
our
way
leads,
which
is
where
a
lot
of
our
care
leavers,
live
and
supported
primarily
by
gipsill
the
organization
who
run
who
run
the
owl
contract.
F
So
we've
worked
really
hard
to
get
care
leavers
who
are
ready
to
move
on
from
our
into
independent
tenances,
so
that
more
young
people
can
then
move
into
the
owl
contract.
That's
been
really
successful,
however,
because
of
the
number
of
adolescents
we've
also
got
coming
into
care.
We
we
can't
quite
get
on
top
of
that.
Really
in
terms
of
just
the
pressure
of
more
children
coming
into
care
who
are
who
are
older
young
people,
but
that
work
has
saved
us
around
a
million
pounds
in
that
task
and
finish
group.
F
That's
meeting
weekly,
but
it
does
continue
to
be
very
pressurized
and
councils
across
the
country
are
struggling
with
Children's
Services.
With
regard
to
the
combination
of
increased
demand
and
the
absolute
sanity
of
some
of
the
profiteering
in
the
private
sector,
particularly
external
residential
placements
providers,
like
their
prices
up
hugely
during
the
pandemic
and
are
continuing
to
do
so,
and
the
there
was
a
competition
in
markets.
Authority
inquiry

as
part
of
the
