Review (March 2011)

Rob Dobson (BAP Manager) attended the BCN Management Committee on the 15th March 2011

and explained the context of the review mainly driven in part by the recent funding cuts imposed

to the Council

 Summary of the suggested changes to the structure and fonctionnement of BAP:

• The BAP Constitution has been maintained and changes have been made to take into account the views of BCN BAP New Constitution
• BAP Assembly is replaced by two annual events: to be known as Burnley Question Time (June 2011) and

the Burnley Conference (end of November)

Gordon Howley from the Children’s Trust albeit representing the Short Stay Schools.

The Executive also agreed to allocate a supplementary seat to BCN

Resume of BCN seats on the BAP Executive:

2 seats by right (1 being automatically allocated to the Chair of BCN and 1 for the BCN Vice Chair on BCN on BAP) + 1 seat due the Stronger Community Champion belonging to the BCN third structure.

(*) the seat of Mr G. Howley is not a BCN seat by right but indirectly benefits the Network through his private and professional involvement with BCN
