Scrutiny Sub-Committee for Promoting Strong, Healthy and Safe Communities 6 March 2006 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 continues to take evidence and a progress report was given to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee on 15 February 2006. The review of ‘Minding the Gap’ took place towards the end of 2005 and is reported upon elsewhere on the agenda for this meeting.
