Purpose

To provide an update to the Shadow Executive on the Implementation Plan as part of regular reporting on the status of the LGR programme in Surrey.

Decision

Resolved that

i)              continued progress against critical milestones be noted;

ii)             the movement of the programme assurance position (RAG rating) and the Children’s Theme RAG rating to red due to the impact of the Surrey Local Area Partnership SEND Inspection be noted;

iii)           the current programme risk profile and highest scoring risks be noted; and

iv)           the latest Implementation Fund position be noted.

Reason for decision

Under the Shadow Authority’s Constitution, the Shadow Executive is responsible for overseeing and managing the transition programme, including maintaining the Implementation Plan and taking the key executive decisions needed to establish the new council.  Agreeing the recommendations in this report will support the Shadow Executive to discharge these functions.

The Shadow Executive will receive regular programme updates providing assurance on overall delivery and highlighting areas requiring direction or decision.
