The CQC Improvement Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee of East Riding of Yorkshire Council was scheduled to consider an update on recommendations and receive reports from the Adult Social Care Improvement Board. The meeting agenda also included a review of the Sub-Committee's work programme for the upcoming year.

Adult Social Care Improvement Board Reports

A significant portion of the meeting was scheduled to be dedicated to reviewing reports from the Adult Social Care Improvement Board, specifically those from its meeting on 24 July 2026. This included an update from the Executive Director of Adult Social Care, a performance scorecard, a look at performance next steps, and progress on the improvement plan.

The Executive Director's report was expected to cover areas of celebration, such as the first co-production group, Working Well Together, and the agreement of the Adult Care and Support Strategy. It was also anticipated to detail areas of concern and risk, including managing demand, the sustainability of agency and overtime arrangements, and the development of the performance management framework. The report was also to outline priority areas for the coming months, such as agreeing improvement priorities with a new Improvement Advisor, focusing on safety, and implementing a leadership restructure.

The performance scorecard was scheduled to provide a detailed look at key performance indicators (KPIs) for the front door, casework assessment and reviews, and safeguarding. It was expected to highlight improvements in areas such as assessments and occupational therapy assessments, while also detailing declines in performance in areas like the Information and Advice Hub (the adult social care front door) and safeguarding concerns. Actions being taken to address these declines were also to be outlined.

The Performance Next Steps section was to detail the rollout of a new Adult Social Care performance framework, including plans for monthly leadership performance discussions supported by a new dashboard, and test and learn sessions with frontline teams. The intention was for the Improvement Board to eventually receive this dashboard.

Finally, the Improvement Plan Progress update was to summarise the status of various aspects of the improvement plan, detailing key progress, concerns, and risks. This included updates on engagement with managers, digital transformation progress, and the ongoing risks associated with safeguarding, front-door demand, and performance reporting capacity.

CQC Improvement Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee Work Programmes 2026/27

The Sub-Committee was also scheduled to consider its work programme for the 2026/27 period. This agenda item, presented by the Senior Committee Manager, was expected to draw from the work programme of the Improvement Board. It was noted that colleagues from People Services were to be invited to the meeting, and that data and performance, along with co-production, would be considered at future meetings.

Forward Plan of Key Decisions

The meeting agenda also indicated that the Sub-Committee would be informed that there were no key decisions on the Council's most recently approved Forward Plan of Key Decisions that had not previously been reported and which fell within the Sub-Committee's terms of reference.
