RESOLVED
 

That the Executive:
 

a)   
Noted that the Annual Report contained at
Appendices A-L of the report was completed in line with the
service delivery contract.
 

b)   
Noted that Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the
Service Delivery Contract (SDC) have remained the same since the
start of the contract with Northamptonshire Children’s Trust
and that the Annual Review, completed by Strategic Group in October
2023, will consider and agree any amendments to the SDC, including
changes to KPIs.
 

c)   
Noted that any changes to the SDC would need to be
agreed by all parties, presented to Children’s Trust Joint
Committee meeting for approval and once approved, be implemented by
a Change Control to the SDC.
 

 
Reason for
Recommendations
 

·      
The arrangements to complete the Annual Review and
Annual Report are set out in the SDC and provide a procedure
through which the Councils can review the Service Delivery Contract
and Northamptonshire
Children’s Trust’s performance in
delivering its functions.

 
Alternative Options Considered

·      
Do nothing - Failing to complete the Annual Review
or produce an Annual Report would not be compliant with the SDC and
would not allow the Councils to formally review the contractual
arrangements with Northamptonshire Children’s Trust and agree
changes. It should be noted that the SDC contains a process for the
Councils to propose changes outside of the Annual Review if
required.
