Report of the Interim Director of Children’s Social Care and Education

The Cabinet considered the report of the Interim Director of Children’s Social Care and Education in relation to the Children and Young People’s Plan 2020 – 2025 and accompanying Commissioning Strategy. The report detailed the steps taken to produce the Plan, the governance and oversight applied to previous draft and sought approval prior to the Plan becoming operational on 1 April 2020.

Decision Made:

That the Children and Young People’s Plan 2020 – 2025 and accompanying Commissioning Strategy be approved.

Reasons for the Decision:

The report seeks to offer assurance of the prior governance, oversight and consultation that has developed the final version of the Children and Young People’s Plan. This information should enable the Cabinet to confidentially approve the Plan for Sefton’s Children and Young People.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

Not having a Children and Young People’s Plan – This would leave a strategic risk in the delivery of co-ordinated services focused on improving the identified priority outcomes for our children and young people in Sefton.
