Cabinet Meeting on Tuesday 13 October 2020

On 11 February 2020, Cabinet resolved to adopt the Draft Strategy for Day Opportunities. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, a set of responses submitted during the consultation period were not included in the pack made available for viewing during the Cabinet process. Consultation documents have now been revised to include the responses omitted from the packs previously.

Since March 2020 Covid 19 has had a significant impact on day opportunities across Birmingham and the focus is on how services can be delivered safely.

The Cabinet Report to be presented on Tuesday 13 October 2020 at 10 am will propose that the Draft Strategy is terminated.

The Cabinet Report and supporting appendices listed below are published on CMIS from Monday 5 October 2020.
