Issue - meetings

The Board considered the 12 month review of progress that had been made delivering the recommendations that had been made by the Youth Provision Task Group in September 2013.  Members noted that, as suggested by the Task Group, a possible investigation of services available to young people not in education, employment or training (NEETs) had been added to the Board’s Work Programme, though no decision had been taken as to whether to undertake a review of this subject.  It was suggested that as this would be touched on by the Leisure Provision Task Group no decision should be taken until the group’s report had been considered by the Board.

The youth club at Stoke Prior was also briefly discussed.  Members noted that the club was relatively popular and parents had confidence that their children would be safe.  Traditional activities could be accessed at the youth club and these encouraged young people to be active in their community.  Members were advised that the Youth Provision Task Group had recognised the value of the youth club in Stoke Prior and had visited the club as part of their investigation.

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
