This would then be followed by the formal part of the agenda to deal with the remaining business. 49. Investigation into ‘Think Family Services – Preventative and Early Intervention Services’ – Activity (Scrutiny Support Officer) As part of the Think Family – Preventative and Early Intervention Services – Impact of Think Family Services investigation, families had been invited to attend this meeting to discuss the impact that Think Family services had on children, including children on the cusp of care, children living in poverty, young people and their families. The Chair confirmed that the main purpose of this investigation was to examine how effective the services provided by the local authority and its partners were and to recommend any improvements identified onto Cabinet for consideration. Attendees were invited to take part in three different activity sessions to focus on the views/experiences of children, young people and parents in relation to Think Family services. The activities were arranged in the following age ranges: • 5-11 year olds; • 12-16 year olds; and • Adults. The aims of the exercises were to: a) Enable everyone to speak and put forward their opinions; b) Support parents, children and young people throughout the exercises; c) Pick up key themes/issues throughout the discussion; and d) Prepare final notes following the meeting. Once the activity/discussion groups were concluded, everyone returned to the main meeting and a brief feedback session was held. The Chair thanked everyone for their attendance and valuable contribution to the activity/discussion groups and indicated that a report summarising the feedback from all the groups would be submitted to the next meeting of the Forum as part of the investigation. Recommended The feedback from all the group discussions/activities would be collated and summarised in a report which would be submitted to the next meeting of the Forum to inform Members during their investigation. 11. 01. 18 C hildrens Ser vices Scrutiny F orum - Minut es 2 Hartlepool Bor ough Council
