Issue - meetings

Members were informed that in July 2012 the Executive had given approval to a 6 month Enablement Pilot to support people with learning and/or physical disabilities attending the Council’s day care services to experience greater community based opportunities. The pilot had started in September 2012 with 20 people from the Braunstone, Belgrave and New Parks areas of the City and the pilot had then finished in March 2013. In July 2013 the Executive had stated that they were minded to approve a roll-out of the Enablement Pilot, renamed the Community Inclusion Team.

Members were offered a brief presentation but were of the opinion that, as the accompanying report had been issued the previous day it was suggested that members approach officers on an individual basis if they required further information on the work of the Community Inclusion Team. Due to timescales, the Chair noted that a decision on this proposal would be made before the next meeting of the Scrutiny Commission it was suggested that the outcome be fed back to members at that meeting.
