Decision Maker: Executive Board
Decision due date: 21/03/2023
Lead officer: Mel Barrett
Notice of decision: 17/03/2023
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
The meeting is urgent and the business cannot be deferred because the council is currently subject to a Statutory Intervention and was issued with a series of Instructions by the Improvement and Assurance Board (IAB) on the 15th February 2023, with which it must comply and that it has to complete to specified deadlines. In order to ensure the delivery of the Instructions within the set timelines, it is clear that further support will need to be given to a number of activities, which will have cost and resource implications. One deadline has already passed and the second is 31st March, so it is imperative that resources are identified and released quickly. This item identifies the resources required and the delegation of approval for their use. Failure to deliver satisfactorily against the Instructions to the required timelines will lead to an increase in the level of statutory intervention that it is subject to. Hence the urgency of the decision.

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
The decision is urgent and the business cannot be delayed as the DWP formal notification for this grant was not made with sufficient notice to enable this decision to follow the normal council reporting process, in time for the distribution of support for Easter holiday period to be made successfully. The council has continued to provide holiday support to its vulnerable children to tackle the current cost of living crisis, providing supermarket vouchers to 18,500 FSM eligible children since the commencement of the Household Support Fund. The schools will need to distribute vouchers directly to parents in advance of the commencement of the easter holiday commencing 3rd April 2023, meaning that the vouchers need to be obtained and distributed to schools week commencing 27th March 2023 at the latest.
