Minutes:

A report by the Interim Director of Children’s Services set out the current position in respect of the Playing for Success initiative, based at Tranmere Rovers Football Club and managed by the Children and Young People’s Department.  The initiative had started in 2004 and funding ended in March 2011.  At the Cabinet meeting held on 23 September 2010 it was agreed to fund the initiative from the centrally managed SEN/behaviour budget until 31 August 2011 (Minute No. 141 refers).  The report provided an update on the present situation and set out options for the future of the initiative.

 

RESOLVED:  That

 

(1)  the funding of the facility and staffing be approved for a period of one year, at a cost of £45,000, to give the Centre time to move nearer to self finance for the September 2012 – August 2013 period; and

 

(2)  the Centre provide a further report for consideration at a meeting in June 2012 to update the Cabinet on progress made.
