Date of Decision: December 8, 2025

Purpose:

Content: The Scrutiny Children and Families Committee RESOLVED to convey to the Executive that, in their opinion the papers presented to scrutiny offered a significant lack of detail within the report, as such, it was unable to formulate adequate recommendations regarding the Budget Proposals for 2026/27 to 2030/31 and the Fees and Charges Policy, as referenced in the Executive’s recommendations (a) to (f) contained within the document.   Furthermore, the Committee wanted to reiterate its concern around the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) and specifically the Deficit Management Plan (DMP) reminding the executive of the recommendation made previously, specifically the need to establish a member led programme management board, which has yet to be actioned.
