RESOLVED - That:
The preferred option would be Option 3 to develop a 2 year fixed
term post that will enable further development of the Children's
Champion Scheme, achieve longer term sustainability and enable more
of our young people to benefit from the scheme. The financial
implications of this would be £30,500 per year to cover the
cost of the full time youth worker post.
The scheme would also benefit from a development fund,
approximately £5k per year to support some of the activities
and interventions with the Champions and their young people.
Funding would need to be found for this either from the wider
Council or from within the service.
