1.	Approval to Establish and Recruit to Best Start in Life and Family Hub Posts Funded Through Department for Education Grant Funding New! Decision maker: Cabinet Decision: July 2026 Decision status: Recommendations Approved Notice of proposed decision first published: 22/07/2026 This decision will be taken under urgency procedures. Reason for urgency: The Best Start Local Plan was submitted to the Department for Education in June 2026 and therefore it has not been possible to progress recruitment activity any sooner. Following submission, officers have been required to develop detailed job descriptions, undertake workforce planning activity, prepare recruitment documentation and commence the Council's job evaluation process. A number of the posts still remain subject to final job evaluation outcomes. Further delay risks significantly impacting delivery of the programme, achievement of DfE outcomes, recruitment timescales, implementation of Family Hub reforms and the Council's ability to meet grant conditions Anticipated restriction: Open - Explanation of anticipated restriction: Open
