[To receive the Performance Monitoring Information report.]

Alison Hinds, Head of Children and Young People in Care presented the Performance Monitoring Information report and highlighted salient points.

It was highlighted that Wolverhampton was one of the only three local authorities that had been reducing the number of children and young people in care. 

It was noted that there was more to the statistics than just the figures therefore it was requested that additional narrative be provided as an explanation to the figures represented in the dashboard. 

The discrepancy with the dental checks had been resolved.
