Joint Departmental meeting and YSAC

Joint Departmental meeting this morning between Children & Families and Health & Social Care ... was quite keen to ensure high-level communication as soon as feasible after being in the new post. That's not to say the two new Departments don't work well together - I think they do - but fairly important, I think, that the two Directors and Executive Members actually sit down together at least every month or so. Seemed to go well.

Later - Youth Services Advisory Committee (YSAC) meeting this evening ... second of these committee meetings since taking on the new job. Just realised that means I've done a complete 'cycle' in the new role already - frightening!

The YSAC members are great - so refreshing to hear so many young people so full of good, constructive ideas for how to develop services in the city. Could do with a few of them on the Full Council ;-))
