Issue - meetings

The Chief Executive presented the Children and Young People’s Plan and advised that this had been developed by the Connecting Families Strategic Group.  The plan was not a report of Worcestershire County Council as it had been developed in partnership and was designed to help improve young people’s lives and aspirations across the county. The plan had already been approved by the Worcestershire Health and Wellbeing Board and was in the process of being considered by district Councils.  Appendix 4 to the report provided further information about the relevant work of Redditch Borough Council and action that could be taken by the local authority to help deliver the key objectives of the plan.

RESOLVED that

1)    the new Worcestershire Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) 2017 – 2021 be endorsed; and

2)    authority be delegated to the Head of Community Services, in so far as it is within the Council’s remit to work with Worcestershire County Council and all other relevant agencies and organisations, to contribute to the drawing up of an action plan to put the CYPP into effect.
