Scrutiny Sub-Committee for Promoting Strong, Healthy and Safe Communities 28 November 2005 Work Programme

Purpose of the Report

1. To update Members about the work programme for the Sub-Committee.

Background
2. The Work Programme provides the opportunity to plan the work of the Sub-Committee. The programme, however, does change in response to new issues which arise. The Work Programme, therefore, provides a guide in terms of forward planning and project management. The timing of projects in the programme constantly needs to be adjusted. There are a number of projects which need to be reviewed, as set out in the attached table.

Current Position
3. The project to examine provision for looked after children is now well underway. The review of Sickness Absence took place on 7 November when it was noted that further progress had been made. A report of the review forms a separate agenda item. The review of Minding the Gap will be undertaken on 29 November.
