To receive an update on the implementation of the actions of the Sub-Board and consider any further actions required (as set out in the submitted action tracker).

The Sub-Board noted the submitted action tracker.

Arising from Minute 23/11/24 below, Amanda Moss advised that in light of the Government’s rule changes the Employment and Skills Board would be meeting soon to consider their ten year plan.  The Health sector was a large employee and would look at what work South Devon College was doing around training for the care sector.  Amanda agreed to see what they were doing to meet with domiciliary care providers.

“that the Divisional Director for Adult Services be requested to organise for an Employment and Skills Board representative to be invited to attend a future meeting with Domiciliary Care providers.”

Resolved (unanimously):

1.         that the above action from Minute 23/11/24 be not pursued further; and

2.         that an item be added to the Work Programme on the skills agenda across the wider care market, in light of the Government’s changes and what the impact is in Torbay and what is being done to mitigate this, to include the care sector and fostering provision and the knock on impact of the savings that need to be made and the role of the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and Employment and Skills Board and that the Director of Adult and Community Services be requested to draft a scope for the item in consultation with the Chairwoman and Vice-Chairman of the Adult Social Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Board with input from the Director of Children’s Services.
