Report of the Assistant Director of People Services

The Sub Committee received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding the review of the current City of London Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) 2012–2015. This review would ensure the work of the Children Executive Board (CEB) continued to meet the needs of the City community, was responsive to local/regional and national policy development, was compliant with updated statutory requirements, and that the new CYPP be in place to take effect from 2015. Members noted this Plan would be presented to the Grand Committee in early 2015 with monitoring remaining the responsibility of the Safeguarding Sub Committee.

(b)  The final version of the Plan be presented to this Sub Committee in 2015; and
