Decision details

To seek approval for publication and implementation of the strategy

1.    That the strategy, attached as Annex A to the submitted report, be agreed, for implementation with immediate effect.

2.    That the strategy and needs analysis be published on Surrey County Council’s website.

3.    That officers develop a short, accessible summary of the strategy to share with Surrey’s Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities.

Reasons for Decisions:

Implementing the strategy is key to reducing local inequalities and improving outcomes for Surrey’s GRT children and young people. The strategy also contributes to the Directorate’s wider approach to improving outcomes for all vulnerable groups of children and young people. Publishing it will help to communicate Surrey’s commitment to these objectives.
