(Report of Chief Executive)

Further to Decision No D160084MEM, the report reviewed the Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA) in relation to the provision of Playscheme Plus for children with additional needs in the light of experience gained from the 2016 play scheme programme.  This was an outstanding recommendation of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee review of delivery of the Council’s Summer Playscheme and details were given of the uptake of Playscheme Plus in 2016.

Following consideration by the Communities and Housing Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Community Services resolved that:

Sufficient publicity be given to Playscheme Plus in 2017 and future years to ensure potential attendees are fully aware of the additional support being offered.
