The Committee thanked the Lead Members and officers for the report. It recommended that the Chief Officer Education and Early Intervention develop an engagement strategy so partners and communities can inform the programme's work. It recommended that the next update include key actions, timescales and milestones for each project, separate general efficiency savings from project savings, and focus on savings rated Amber or Red, the warning colours, in the budget savings tracker.
Items are linked when their titles share most of their words and they fall within 18 months of each other. Councils don't number reports across meetings, so a few links may be wrong, and a step may be missing if its title changed a lot. Each step links to the meeting, where the council's own papers are.
