Priority Theme Sponsors to lead the discussion.

The priority theme sponsors introduced the report:

Priority 1 - Jean Kelly

5. In relation to children’s emotional health and wellbeing, a number of actions had been agreed at the recent HWB development session.

Priority 2 - Jackie Clayton

1. The actions were all green rated.
2. Delivery was focussed on NEET prevention and there would be a full update at the meeting in July.  A new NEET panel had been set up and was chaired by Bath Rugby Foundation, and this was allowing the voices of young people to be heard.
3. There had also been a data clean up within the council which would improve performance.
4. A lot of this work was funded by WECA up until March 2027; therefore it would be a pivotal year in terms of considering how to continue this work if there was no future funding.

Priority 3 - Rebecca Reynolds

1. Out of 5 objectives, 2 were amber rated. 
2. Work was taking place in relation to Social Prescribing Framework actions, and this was due to be completed by the end of March.

Priority 4 - Lucy Baker

1. There actions were mainly RAG rated as green and there were 2 amber actions.
2. There was an amber action around the Local Plan.
3. There was also the key area around prevention, children and young people and improving outcomes.  This work was being aligned with work around the Families First Partnership Programme and the Neighbourhood Health Plans.
