Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: September 12, 2024

Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED   That the Executive accepted and noted the Chief Principal Social Worker’s Annual Report and agrees the priorities for the forthcoming year.     Reasons for Recommendation: These priorities are ones which have been identified through the Chief Principal Social Worker’s work, through work with the Senior Leadership Team and with front line workers, and they align with Adult Social Care’s priorities to provide an excellent service for the people of North Northamptonshire. Further priorities may be identified during the year and work picked up.  The Chief Principal Social Worker’s work includes wider themes and priorities will continuously be monitored and reviewed.    Alternative Options Considered: The Chief Principal Social Worker is responsible for completing an annual report to highlight work undertaken, priorities for the forthcoming year and the Chief PSW’s view of the Council’s Adult Social Care Services.  As such it is important the Executive is provided with the same report that has been presented to Corporate Leadership Team; not to do so would leave Executive without information that has been presented to CLT and that is provided within an annual report from a postholder within a role which sits within statute.
