C150 WELSH LANGUAGE STANDARDS ANNUAL MONITORING
REPORT 2023-24 (REF) –
The reference from Learning and Culture Scrutiny Committee held on 19th
September, 2024 was presented.
The Cabinet Member said that there were interesting points raised at the meeting,
some of which had not arisen previously, e.g. there was insufficient school transport
for one Welsh Medium Primary school which was subsequently been raised with
Officers within the School transport Team.
Committee also discussed the difficulty in attracting and retaining Welsh speaking
teachers as there was a shortage of teachers able to teach through the medium of
Welsh across Wales, commenting that the Council should look to maximise the
opportunities to recruit and retain teaching staff and others with Welsh language
skills. The Cabinet Member said that the Vale of Glamorgan Council had applied for
and gained funding to train teachers whilst in school to work towards addressing the
issue.
The Committee referred a comment to Cabinet to consider a proposal that the Vale
of Glamorgan considers a bid to host the 2029 Urdd Eisteddfod in Barry which the
Cabinet Member was happy to support and had written to Officers accordingly. The
Leader said that the National Eisteddfod had not been held in the Vale of Glamorgan
since 2012 and had been hugely successful at that time and looked forward to
finding out if that bid would be possible.
RESOLVED – T H A T the comments and recommendations of the Learning and
Culture Scrutiny Committee held on 19th September, 2024 be noted.

(REF) –
The reference from Learning and Culture Scrutiny Committee held on 19th
September, 2024 was presented.
Committee discussed School Governors undertaking safeguarding training as not all
of them had completed the relevant Safeguarding modules which needed to be
addressed.
There was also discussion concerning how much staff time was spent implementing
safeguarding in schools with decisions taken as to how each case should be treated
or referred, including Home Office PREVENT training. The Cabinet Member said
that all staff were trained regularly on such matters to be aware of the different
issues and challenges faced by children and young people.
RESOLVED – T H A T the comments and recommendations of the Learning and
Culture Scrutiny Committee held on 19th September, 2024 be noted.
Reason for decision
Having regard to the contents of the reference and discussions at the meeting.
C152 ANNUAL CORPORATE SAFEGUARDING REPORT 2023-24 (REF) –
The reference from Governance and Audit Committee held on 23rd September, 2024
was presented.
There was discussion concerning whether all Councillors were Disclosure and
Barring Service (DBS) checked and it was confirmed that all Councillors were
checked and any Councillor who had a responsibility or was on a Committee
concerning children and young people or vulnerable people had an Enhanced DBS
check. It was also asked if there was provision for DBS checks to be carried out on
a rolling basis.
Committee also discussed abuse in the home and whether some of the figures
quoted were specific to the Vale of Glamorgan or wider and whether figures were
comparable to other Local Authorities, which Officers were going to respond to.
Councillor Williams added that there was recognition at both Committees that it was
a Corporate safeguarding report and that both Members and staff had a duty to
report any issues regarding safeguarding, which the Leader agreed was vitally
important.
RESOLVED – T H A T the comments of the Governance and Audit Committee held
on 23rd September, 2024 be noted.
Reason for decision
Having regard to the contents of the reference and discussions at the meeting.
C153 FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2025/26 TO 2029/30 (REF) –
The reference from the Extraordinary Corporate Performance and Resources
Scrutiny Committee held on 2nd October, 2024 was presented.
There had been discussion concerning the forecast funding gap of £9.392m for
2025/26 and that the figure was likely to grow due to emerging pressures. The
Leader said that further reports considering the matter would be coming to Cabinet in
the next month.
The Section 151 Officer commented that the Vale of Glamorgan was a relatively low-
funded Authority and had set a relatively low level of Council Tax compared to other
Local Authorities which was a challenge with increasing costs, e.g. private sector
rents.
Committee discussed wide-ranging potential areas of action and recommended that
Cabinet consider investment in spend to save projects and potential for a strategic
procurement function. The Leader said that with regards spend to save, that was an
area relative to the Reshaping agenda and the comment would be referred into that
process. Regarding the strategic procurement function, the Leader said that the
Council was currently in an arrangement with other Local Authorities for a shared
procurement service and would pass that comment to Ardal.
RESOLVED – T H A T the comments and recommendations from the Extraordinary
Corporate Performance and Resources Scrutiny Committee held on 2nd October,
2024 be noted.
Reason for decision

C154 CLOSURE OF ACCOUNTS 2023/24 (REF) –
The reference from the Extraordinary Corporate Performance and Resources
Scrutiny Committee held on 2nd October, 2024 was presented.
Committee considered the year end revenue position and noted there being a
surplus of £2.08m at year end which was proposed to be transferred to reserves as
follows:
- Establish a new and temporary £2m reserve to offset Education Deficits in
2024/25 on a provisional basis whilst the Council worked with schools on
establishing a coordinated approach to tackling school deficits;
- The balance of £80k had been transferred to the General Fund.
The level of Useable Reserves had reduced in year although by less than had been
projected but some of those commitments had been slipped into 2024/25 in
accordance with Capital Expenditure slippage.
Committee asked Cabinet to consider the possibility of there being a dedicated
procurement officer for schools which would fit in with the financial support already
offered to schools, although procurement was now a matter being dealt with under a
joint agreement with Ardal. Officers would be asked to investigate the suggestion.
The financial position within schools was discussed and there was discussion and a
recommendation for further consideration to be given for Governing bodies to be
provided with further support and guidance regarding school budget deficits. The
Leader said that the school-based Finance Team did work with schools and would
be happy to assist Governing bodies, as well as other schools being able to offer
peer support.
Committee also asked for future closure of accounts reports to detail planned and
unplanned use of reserves more clearly, which the Head of Finance would look to
address in future reports.
RESOLVED – T H A T the comments and recommendations from the Extraordinary
Corporate Performance and Resources Scrutiny Committee held on 2nd October,
2024 be noted, with detail passed to relevant Officers for consideration.
Reason for decision
Having regard to the contents of the reference and discussions at the meeting.

matters within the programme as well as consideration given to other potential
funding such as borrowing, grants or s106 contributions.
