Minutes:

Cabinet received a report setting out the Lancashire Youth Policy. The purpose of the policy was to provide a guiding framework for partners and stakeholders, including underpinning principles and areas for action, to help ensure that young people:

 

-  are at the heart of and part of our policy making;

-  are better supported to achieve their full potential; and

-  ensure that our engagement is best in class.

 

In presenting the report, it was noted that there was a discrepancy with the names of the Priorities listed in the report, where on page 3 of the report, is should have said "Priority 1", instead of "Theme 1". There were also issues with the numbering of the remaining priorities, where on page 5 of the report, "Priority 2" should say "Priority 3", on page 6 "Priority 3 should say "Priority 4" and on page 7 "Priority 4" should say "Priority 5". These changes had been corrected on the published agenda on the council's website.

 

Resolved: That;

 

  1. The principles, key issues and priorities for action set out within this report be approved; and
  2. The Executive Director for Education and Children's Services be authorised, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Schools, to complete the development of the Lancashire Youth Policy through ongoing engagement and participation with children and young people and, where there are areas for partnership action, with relevant partner organisations.
