Issue - meetings

Decisions:

1.   That approval be granted in principle for the development of childcare facilities on school sites with the terms and conditions being agreed by the Head of Property and Regeneration;

2.   That the Head of Participation be granted delegated authority to authorise childcare developments on school sites;

3.   That a report on the Childcare Facilities within Schools in Neath Port Talbot be brought back for Members consideration on an Annual Basis.

Reason for Decisions:

To support the Governing Bodies of schools in supporting the request for childcare facilities to be developed on school sites.  Also, to enable the Local Authority to meet its statutory duty placed on it in the Childcare Act 2006.  This will in turn support the Child Poverty agenda in enabling parents the time to enter training or employment opportunities, or to access employment or training within the childcare sector.

Implementation of Decision:

That the decision will be implemented after the three day call in period.
