Minutes:

The Panel received the report of the Executive Director – Children and Learning which invited the Panel to consider the latest version of the self-evaluation which was finalised in January 2022.

Robert Henderson, Executive Director - Children and Learning; and Stuart Webb, Head of Quality Assurance; were present and, with the consent of the Chair, addressed the Panel.

In discussions with the officers, the Panel noted the following:

· That the Destination 22 service transformation programme was underway, and changes had been implemented which provided a good foundation for an improvement in performance to be achieved. It could take several months for the effect of those changes to be reflected in the performance data.

· The new leadership and management structure was now in place and they were focused on the development and delivery of the audit programme.

RESOLVED: That the Panel would be provided with a diagram which depicted the journey of a child with the old and new service names identified to highlight the transformation of the service that was underway.
