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

 The Committee received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of insurance arrangements on the Barbican Estate.  In response to questions, Members noted that vulnerable residents could ask for applications to be made on their behalf and estate staff would always offer assistance, more generally.  Officers also advised that ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ was a working document that would be updated as necessary.  In respect of advising residents about taking up contents insurance, which was standard practice in other authorities, officers agreed to check that provision of such advice would not contravene FCA Regulations. 

RESOLVED, that – the insurance arrangements in place for the Barbican Estate be noted.
