Bromley’s Holiday Activities and Food Programme annual report

Bromley’s Steering Group comprises of senior leaders across the Children, Education and Families division in Bromley who provide scrutiny and challenge to the HAF teams grant award process and planning of the overall programme. The Director of Education, Assistant Director of Children’s Social Care, Director of Finance for Children’s Services and the HAF Programme Lead form our Steering Group.

Our grant award process also includes a decision-making panel with key colleagues across the Council to provide input, scrutiny, and challenge to potential providers based on providers scores. The alignment with our programme offers and aims for the children and young people taking part is clearly set out at this scrutiny panel, which include colleagues from SEN, Commissioning, Procurement, Public Health, and Finance.

The HAF team is planning to roll out an additional forum in which parent/carers, children and young people, voluntary sector colleagues, and providers are invited to come together to feedback and review the programme. The HAF team continues to consider ways to develop future programmes, and feedback from families and providers are welcome to support our continuous improvement journey to supplement our existing offer.
