Decisions

Bristol City Council is required to set term dates for the Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools in Bristol in collaboration and co-ordination with Local Authorities in South West England, including neighbouring Local Authorities; Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. The decision was put to public consultation which was open from 14th May to 25th June 2021, Other schools, which are not Community and VC schools, are responsible for setting their own dates so these may vary from those set by BCC.

Term 1: Thursday 1st September 2022 to Friday 21st October 2022 (37 School Days)

Term 3: Tuesday 3rd January 2023 to Friday 10th February 2023 (29 School Days)

•A significant amount of work was done to reshape the IAG Grant in 2019 implementing a ‘step-change’ towards a ‘whole system’ model of integrated advice services, a referrer/citizen friendly system (see Appendix A and Ab)
•The Cabinet meeting on 3rd March 2020 approved the extension of the grant funding plan for one year to provide an opportunity to review the grant arrangement and align it with the city council strategic approach to advice and ethical debt (see Appendix B)
•This wider council project has not progressed due to Covid -19 and limited resource
•Current grant arrangements are working well, delivering benefits to Bristol Citizens and driving strategic improvements in the advice sector (see Appendix C)
•The Cabinet meeting on 3rd March approved the option to extend the current grant for a further two and a half years to 30th April 2024
•Extension of the current grant will provide stability to the advice sector at a time of high demand and allow time for Bristol City Council time to consider the strategic fit of the grant in the future.
