Report by Interim Executive Director with responsibility for Development and Economic Growth

Minutes:
A report providing an update on the current financial position of the Argyll and Bute Council’s Employability Team was considered by the Committee.
Decision:
The Business Continuity Committee agreed:
1. to note the content of the report;
2. to note that based on the in-year 2019/20 financial outturn, it is likely that there will be a deficit in 2020/21 and that due to the current pandemic, less job outcomes will be realised during 2020/21 and this will also adversely affect the financial position; and
3. that once the new delivery arrangements are in place in April 2021, under the No One Left Behind (NOLB) policy direction, a detailed review of the affordability of employability service provision across Argyll and Bute will be conducted. This review will need to take into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, associated financial support packages and the flexibility to repurpose the Argyll and Bute Council allocation of Phases 2 and 3 of the NOLB to support economic recovery.
