As Cabinet Member
for Education and Health Reform, I agree:
- That the HeadStart Kent Programme be adopted and proceed in
accordance with the Big Lottery Grant Agreement set out in the
report.
- That the necessary
procurement exercises be undertaken for good and services required
to deliver the programme.
- That authority is
delegated to the Corporate Director of Education and Young People's
Services to award the necessary contracts for HeadStart Kent to providers selected through the
procurement process and to award the HeadStart Kent grants to selected schools to
deliver the HeadStart Programme in
accordance with the Big Lottery Grant Agreement.
Governance:
The Executive Scheme of
Delegation for Officers set out in Appendix 2 Part 4
of the Constitution (and the directorate schemes of
sub-delegation made thereunder) provides the governance pathway for
the implementation of this decision by officers as it assumes at 1.9 of the scheme that once a Member-level
decision has been taken, the implementation of that decision will
normally be delegated to officers, so that multiple Member
decisions are not required in respect of the same matter
