A report by the Acting Director of Children’s Services advised of an extension to the following specialised contracts in Children’s Services for nine months to 31 March 2013 after which they would be aligned with other commissioned services.  The contracts had previously been reported to the Cabinet and had been extended to June 2012.

RESOLVED:

That the five specialist contracts set out in Section 1.2 of the report be extended until 31 March 2013 to ensure continuity of service for those vulnerable groups of children and young people and to allow for time for these contracts to be part of the next commissioning process.
