Purpose

Cabinet is asked to consider amendments to the responsibilities contained within the Cabinet portfolios. These changes are proposed to ensure that the county council continues to meet its obligations in relation to the guidance on the Lead Member for Children's Services.

Decision

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.

This decision should be implemented immediately for the purposes of Standing Order C29 as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the county council's responsibilities. The reason for this is that the decision has been designated as business critical by the relevant Executive Director, and any delay in its implementation would have an adverse effect on the operations of the county council.
