Minutes:
The Committee had before it a report by the Chief Operating Officer which detailed a high level evaluation of the Easter of Play programme and sought approval for the general shape of a Summer 2022 programme. The report advised that an Easter of Play programme had been made available to children and young people across Aberdeen City over the school holiday period, with officers from across the organisation pooling resource and expertise to plan the programme in keeping with the approach taken to develop the successful Summer of Play 2021.
The report recommended:-
that the Committee –
(a) note the high level evaluation of the Easter programme;
(b) instruct the Chief Officer – Education to deliver the summer 2022 programme in keeping with the updated national guidance as outlined in the Skeleton Plan in Appendix F;
(c) instruct the Chief Officer – Education to report on the impact of the summer 2022 programme to this Committee before the end of 2022; and
(d) note the Council's Partnership policy priority to extend holiday programmes for children and young people, and that the Council agreed at its meeting on 18 May 2022 that the new policy statement will be the subject of a report to Council in August 2022 by the Chief Executive.
The Committee resolved:-
to approve the recommendations.
