Agenda item

10.1

The Committee received a report of the Policy and Improvement Officer (Alice Nicholson) containing a summary of the Committee’s activities during 2018/19 and 2019/20, together with a list of suggested topics for the Committee’s Work Programme for 2020/21. 

10.2

Members, whilst agreeing it was difficult for them to determine what topics should be included on the Work Programme for 2020/21 on the basis that some Members may not be appointed to either the Committee or the Council in May 2020, suggested that Early Years Education, Home Education and the links between CAMHS, MAST and Early Years, be added as topics to the list. It was also suggested that a representative from the National Education Union be invited to a future meeting to talk on teachers’ welfare.

(a)      notes the contents of the report submitted, together with the comments now made;
