The Committee
received an amended report, circulated
and published on the day prior to the meeting, containing the
Committee’s Work Programme for consideration and discussion.
The aim of the Work Programme is to show all known, substantive
agenda items for forthcoming meetings of the Committee, to enable
this Committee, other committees, officers, partners and the public to plan their work with and
for the Committee. Changes since the Committee’s last
meeting, including any new items, had been made in consultation
with the Co-Chairs, Deputy Chair and Group Spokesperson, via their
regular pre-meetings, and these were set out at the beginning of
Appendix A of the report. It was highlighted that this is a live
document which will be brought to each meeting of the Committee and
Members’ input to it was invaluable.
|
|
|
|
|
6.2
|
The Committee was asked to give consideration
to the further additions or
adjustments to the work programme presented at Part 2 of Appendix
1, and to any further issues to be explored by officers for
inclusion in Part 2 of Appendix 1 of the next work programme
report, for potential addition to the work programme.

beginning of the meeting made by Councillor Brian Holmshaw
referring to his previous requests for a report to be submitted to
this Committee in relation to the opportunities register, which the
Council had prepared to identify forward funding for each Council
service, and it was agreed that a report on this matter, in so far
as it relates to Education, Children and Families services, should
be added to the work programme, to be submitted to the next or
subsequent meeting.
|
|
|
|
|

|
RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Committee’s work programme, as set out in Appendix 1, be
agreed, including the additions and amendments identified in Part
1, and with the addition of a report on the Opportunities Register
pertaining to Education, Children and Families services
being added to the work programme for submission at the next or

Minutes:
|
7.1
|
The Committee
considered a report of the Director of Children’s Services
seeking agreement to proceed with secondary school expansion plans
in Planning Area 5 in the east of the city, to address the forecast
deficit of places in 2023/24 due to new housing and population
growth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arising from
consideration of the proposals in the report, the Director of
Children’s Services agreed to:-
·
Arrange for school and early years’
provision maps to be published on the Council’s website;
and
·
Ensure that details of the planning work
being undertaken with adjacent local authorities be included within
the report to be submitted to the December meeting of the Committee
on mainstream sufficiency, which will provide an overview of the 3
year strategy to ensure sufficient provision across early years,
childcare, primary, secondary and post-16 provision.
|
|
|
|
|
7.2
|
RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the
Education, Children and Families Policy Committee:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a) agrees the proposed
secondary school expansion plans in Planning Area 5, which will
enable the Local Authority to fulfil its statutory duty and ensure
sufficient secondary places are available to meet the forecast
demand in 2023/24; and
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) agrees for up to
£5.5m of the remaining balance of Basic Need funding to be
utilised to fund the proposed expansions.
|
|
|
|
|
7.3
|
Reasons for Decision
|
|
|
|
|
7.3.1
|
The proposed
expansions in Planning Area 5 will contribute to:-
·
Need for
places: without additional places in the area, the impact on
families of not getting a local place will be significant as well
as the impact on neighbouring schools.
·
Children’s outcomes: the standard of education that
are provided at the two schools is of a good quality – both
schools are rated by Ofsted as “Good.”
·
Equality:
the catchment area is characterised by deprivation and a higher
proportion of Black and Minority Ethnic population. By increasing
places at these two schools the needs of all children are met, in
particular the needs of more vulnerable children and families
located in the city.
|
|
|
|
|
7.4
|
Alternatives Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
7.4.1

A detailed Options Appraisal
was undertaken to consider alternative options to help address the
secondary deficits from 2023/24 onwards. This is set out in Annex 1
of the report.

|
Reasons for Decision
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12.3.1
|
An approved delivery plan gives a
structured approach to the promotion of independent living through
equipment and adaptations as well as how the service is addressing
waiting lists and impact of the pandemic. It will also provide
greater accountability and transparency of how will do
this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12.3.2
|
Asking for regular updates and
refreshes of the plan will keep the Committee, wider stakeholders,
and the public the ability to hold the Council to account for
progress and provide an additional mechanism to input to future
development.

Alternatives Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12.4.1
|
Don’t complete a delivery plan for equipment and
adaptations performance and financial recovery. This would not provide the assurances required to
ensure that we are striving towards a high performing and
financially sustainable service.

APPROVE FUTURE DESIGN OF ADULT SOCIAL CARE
|
|
13.1
|
The Committee
received a report of the Director of Adult Health and Social Care,
presented by Jon Brenner, Head of Social Care Change and Strategy,
which provided the Committee with further information on plans to
deliver the Adult Health and Social Care Strategy ‘Living the
Live you Want to Live’ through a new operating model and
design for adult social care in Sheffield.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.2
|
RESOLVED
UNANIMOUSLY: That the Adult Health and Social Care
Policy Committee:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(a)
Approve the future direction of adult social care
operating model, and confirm it aligns with the Committee’s
strategic direction.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
Agree that the Director of Adult Health and Social
Care brings a six-monthly report noting update and progress made
with implementation of the model to Committee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.3
|
Reasons for Decision
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The operating model gives a structured
design for the vision, outcomes and commitments set out in the
overall strategy. It will also provide greater accountability and
transparency of how will do this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.4
|
Alternatives Considered and Rejected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.4.1
|
No new operating model - There is an
alternative available to not specifically design a new operating
model. However, this would result in a
less coherent adult social care system, and would also lack the
accountability and transparency of informed decision making
required in a democratic organisation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.4.2
|
A
different delivery plan - The real options for the operating model are around the
individual elements, which will be worked through as part of the
constituent pieces of work. These will be worked through in
different ways, with some of them resulting in their own future
reports to the Committee.
