Report DCYP12040

 

The Committee considered a report outlining the Government programme, ‘Tackling Troubled Families’ and setting out a timetable for developing a London Borough of Bromley project plan and business case for submission to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

 

Members noted the categories listed in the report but felt some key indicators were missing.  Officers explained the categories were nationally prescriptive and they had to ensure that the criteria would meet the targets.

 

Members raised concerns that the project may not be “useful” and asked for a report back in 3 months to establish the usefulness of the project.  It was felt that Bromley was already undertaking this type of work. 

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
