Families First Delivery Partner

From: Public Safety & Protection Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 12th August, 2025 10.00 am - August 12, 2025

The Families First Transformation programme is a critical arm to the council’s wider transformation work which underpins and supports financial sustainability through the budget (Full Council Feb 2025). In the case of the Families First programme, the transformation aims to both deliver significant improvements to outcomes for children and young people across the city, whilst reducing the costs of delivering those services by improving the target of spend on those improved outcomes, increasing sufficiency across areas including fostering and children’s homes, and placing a greater focus on early help and prevention.

Confirmation of spend remaining on land purchase for Ashton Vale Temple Meads metrobus project

From: Public Safety & Protection Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 12th August, 2025 10.00 am - August 12, 2025

A Cabinet decision approved construction of the Ashton Vale Temple Meads (AVTM) metrobus scheme, including the purchase of land via a Compulsory Purchase Order, in October 2014. This was followed by an Officer Executive Decision in March 2020 that confirmed the total land purchase cost would be no more than £1,381,522. Since this time, £660,191 has been spent with a further £395,562 forecast to be spent in the remainder of the current financial year (a total of £1,055,753). Although this amount is less than that for which approval remains extant, it was thought prudent to refresh an approval given more than five years ago.

Bristol City Council School Term and Holiday Dates 2026/2027

From: Public Safety & Protection Sub-Committee - Tuesday, 12th August, 2025 10.00 am - August 12, 2025

Bristol City Council (BCC) is responsible for setting the school term and holiday dates for all Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in the city. Academies have the freedom to determine their own but often choose to align with the Local Authority (LA). LA maintained schools must open for 380 sessions, the equivalent of 190 days. BCC usually intends to find continuity with our neighbouring LAs; South Gloucestershire, Bath and North East Somerset, and North Somerset. This was not possible for 2026/2027 so Bristol proposed two options for consultation which were considered the most suitable dates taking into account various factors including; the working commitments of Bristol families, consistency in the length of each term and the avoidance of unauthorised absence, particularly during the summer term. Around five hundred Bristol children are educated in state schools in our neighbouring LAs. The majority of these of primary school age travel to South Gloucestershire whereas most secondary school age children travel to North Somerset.
