Minutes:
The Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Corporate Resources introduced the Traded Services to Schools and Academies Report 2019/20 that proposed a general rise in charges of 2.4% in line with inflation.
A Member raised concern where it was recommended that charges rise above the 2.4% inflationary rate that included educational visits and journey.
The Committee requested that Children’s Services OSC be requested to examine those charges over the current inflation rate and seek assurances that the increase had been essential and would not cause unnecessary hardship.
RECOMMENDED
1. That the charges for services increasing by the 2.4% inflation rate be endorsed.
2. That the Children’s Services OSC be requested to examine in more detail those services where charges have been increased above the inflationary rate and report back on their findings to a future meeting.
