Transforming Angus
We had a full discussion about the breadth of the Transforming Angus programme. The intention is to change Council services to improve customer experience and business processes. We also need to address the projected funding gap in future years.
Transforming Angus isn’t a job for a few people, it’s up to all of us.
Service reviews
We agreed a list of 7 potential service reviews.
- Devolved and non-devolved investment
- Digital by Default
- Review of Teachers Staffing Budget
- Self-Directed Support for Children
- Review of Permanence
- DSM Scheme
- Review of the Community Campuses
These will be scoped by the end of June to decide which, if any should proceed. The reviews will be carried out over the next 2-3 years. If you have ideas about other areas to review, please let us know.
Children’s Services Plan for Angus
Tim Armstrong told us that:
“On Monday 18th April over 60 managers and frontline staff from across the wide range of statutory and voluntary services in Angus met to discuss the development of the new Children’s Services Plan for Angus. Together they considered a set of priorities and objectives that will guide the future development of services. The next stage is to use the coming year to work further with children and young people, their families and the wider community to ensure that the new Plan reflects their hopes and aspirations for services and in doing so develop a plan that really will help us Get it Right for all children and young people in Angus.”
