Issue - meetings

This is a report from the Youth Task Group for Epsom & Ewell. Services for Young People is currently in the process of working with the Youth Task Group to re-commission the Local Prevention Framework and its associated elements for the period 1 September 2013 – 31 August 2015. In order to commission services that meet the needs of young people in Epsom & Ewell, a local needs specification has been drawn up based on information provided by the Youth Task Group. Due to procurement standing orders, the Epsom & Ewell Local Committee have declared a conflict of interests, are unable to approve the local needs specification and so it is requested that a decision is made by the Cabinet Member for Community Safety instead.

Services for Young People propose some improvements to the Local Prevention Framework following the first year of the commission countywide.

[The decisions on this item may be called in by the Communities Select Committee]

1.         That the allocation of £8,500 to Personalised Prevention be approved

2.        That the local needs specification as set out in Annex A of the submitted report, be considered by providers focusing on the identified needs of Epsom & Ewell and the geographical neighbourhoods prioritised by the Youth Task Group be approved.
