Report of the Chamberlain and Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Committee considered a joint report of the Chamberlain and Director of Community and Children’s Services setting out the Quarter 3 estimated outturn for the Community & Children’s Services Committee budget (excluding the ring-fenced Housing Revenue Account) for the year 2021/22.  The report also provided an update on progress with the Fundamental Review (FR) and Target Operating Model (TOM) savings in the year.

Members noted that, whilst officers had been working pro-actively with the Home Office to expedite asylum applications; thereby enabling young people to receive their benefit entitlements, this is beyond the City of London Corporation remit and needs to be addressed by central government.

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
