The Corporate Director for Corporate and Support Services submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out progress on the actions outlined in the Executive response to the Welfare Reform Scrutiny review which was presented to the Scrutiny Committee on 1 July 2014.

 

The Deputy Executive Leader and Portfolio holder for Corporate, Customer and Community Services (Councillor Iain Roberts) attended the meeting to answer members’ questions.

 

The following comments were made/issues raised:-

 

·         There was a need to ensure that appropriate privacy arrangements are in place for members of the public using public computers to complete application forms.

·         It was noted that the audit of current progress in relation to preparing for Universal Credit (Appendix B to the report) was a national document and therefore information would not be available in relation to Stockport.

·         The Council was considering ways to ensure that the needs of tenants in social housing not operated by Stockport Homes were being met.

 

RESOLVED – (1) That the report be noted.

 

(2) That a further progress report be submitted to this Scrutiny Committee on 22 September 2015.
