Decision

RESOLVED
that Cabinet:-
 

1.   
Approve the development of an EoC Service to provide intensive and targeted
support to families at risk of having their children taken into
care; and
 

2.   
Approve a temporary one-off investment of up to
£1,158,988 over the next 18 months to enable the EoC to be embedded and evaluated; and
 

3.   
Approve the receiving of further reports and an
independent evaluation to assess the return on investment against
the measures set out in this document for the duration of the
temporary investment period. This will then enable an evidence base
for decision making on whether to continue an EoC service.
