Andy Shallice referred to the questions he had raised at the meetings of this Committee held on 11th November 2017 and 15th January 2018, and questioned whether, given that it appeared that incorrect information had been provided by the officer to the question raised in November 2017, and the failure of the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families to provide an answer to the question since January 2018, were Members of this Scrutiny Committee confident about the ability of Children’s Services to respond to public questions and scrutiny? |

Councillor Jackie Drayton (Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families) apologised for the failure in providing answers to the questions raised, and stated that the decision regarding the deletion of the post had been made by the Schools Forum, based on the low number of children requiring additional assistance. She stressed that support would continue to be given to such children and families. |
