Issue - decisions

The Cabinet Member for Adults and Health has approved a reduction in the budget for the LAN from £807,000 to £200,000 per annum from 2019/20 onwards together with a remodelling of the remaining service that:

• Maintains support to Children and Family Centres that deliver the Council’s statutory duties to provide an early help offer.  Ensuring that the remaining offer is targeted.
• Maintains support to foodbanks targeting individuals and families with the highest level of need.
• Reduces the contribution to Citizens Advice, recognising that the Council provides other funding to this service, but accepting the importance of maintaining a specific targeted LAN offer focused on locally based ‘face to face’ services to the CA’s which already has extensive locations across the County.
• Reduces the contribution to social enterprises.
