Members discussed the issues and challenges we need to address together as we move into a new phase of the programme.
What we decided
To instruct the BNDfC Chief Executive to progress work required regarding mainstreaming. The Advancing Together Agreement is now at a stage where projects are winding down we need to embed the initiatives that have worked, capture the important elements, reprioritise resources and look at new ways of delivery. The Chief Executive should feedback information to SCC on this subject.
