Minutes:

Further to minute 474 (23 April 2009), the Director of Children’s Services reported upon the Positive Activities for Young People (PAYP) Programme, which was intended to provide diversionary activities for young people who could offend or become NEET, (Not in Education Employment or Training) because of a number of factors such as negative peer group pressure, poor school attendance, substance or alcohol misuse. He commented that a commissioning process had established a commissioning panel, which had identified a number of prospective providers and he commented that Area Based Grant funding of £93,790 was available in 2009/10 and £152,550 in 2010/11.
