The Cabinet of Mole Valley Council discussed several key topics during their meeting on 25 June 2024, including strategic partnerships, productivity plans, support programs for businesses and employment, youth justice, school organization, and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) capital programs. Decisions were made on various funding allocations and program implementations.
Delivering Services for Surrey through Strategic Partnerships
The council reviewed the Delivering for Surrey through Strategic Partnerships report, highlighting significant developments such as securing a level two county deal, transferring responsibilities from local enterprise partnerships, and creating integrated care systems. The council emphasized the importance of these partnerships in improving the quality of life for residents and addressing inequalities.
Productivity Plans
The council discussed the Productivity Plans report, which outlines the council's approach to improving efficiency and outcomes. The plan includes transformation programs, the use of technology and data, reducing wasteful expenditure, and addressing barriers to productivity. The council approved the proposed approach and delegated authority to finalize the plan.
Made Smarter Adoption Programme
The council agreed to serve as the accountable body for the Made Smarter Adoption Programme in the southeast region. This program supports manufacturing SMEs through advice, leadership development, and grants for new technologies. The council will coordinate delivery across the region, backed by £1.3 million in funding.
Universal Support Program
The council approved funding from the Department for Work and Pensions to deliver the Universal Support program, which provides employment support to adults with long-term conditions or disabilities. The program aims to help individuals access and maintain work, contributing to a sustainable economy and improving health outcomes.
Youth Justice Plan
The council approved the Youth Justice Plan 2024/25, which outlines the provision, funding, and operation of youth justice services. The plan highlights successful interventions and strong partnership approaches that have reduced first-time entrants to the criminal justice system and maintained low custody rates.
School Organisation Plan
The council endorsed the School Organisation Plan 2024-2034, which projects the demand for school places over the next ten years. The plan aims to ensure sufficient high-quality places for pupils in Surrey, despite current funding challenges.
SEND Capital Program
The council discussed the SEND and AP Capital Programmes and the need to adjust the scope and funding profile due to increased construction costs. The revised program aims to expand the specialist education estate and reduce reliance on out-of-county placements, generating significant cost savings.
Winston Churchill School
The council approved capital funding for the Winston Churchill School to replace four temporary classrooms with a permanent building. The project will be self-delivered by the school, ensuring long-term capacity for local children.
Surrey Safeguarding Adults Annual Report
The council reviewed the Surrey Safeguarding Adults Annual Report 2022-23, which highlighted the work done to manage risks and improve outcomes for vulnerable adults. The council emphasized the importance of multi-agency collaboration and early intervention.
Financial Reports
The council noted the out-turn financial report for 2023/24, which showed a small overspend due to pressures in adult and children's social care. The council also reviewed the month one financial report for 2024/25, highlighting challenges in home-to-school transport and the need for continued transformation programs to achieve efficiencies.
