Decision:

To agree for NYCC to sign up to deliver the Supporting Families Programme in 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, which will allow the Chief Financial Officer to authorise the participation of NYCC in the programme. This will enable the local authority to receive the allocated funding

Reasons for the decision:

The programme has been delivered since 2014 as part of the Early Help service. The programme brings in a financial reward (see section 6). The funding goes into the Council’s reserves.
As the Children and Families service has been signed up to the programme since 2014, the service delivery is fully embedded within the Early Help service
