Issue details

As part of a council-wide review of services, the decision was made to transfer the School Crossing Patrol Warden Service from Adults, Health and Well Being to Learning and Opportunities, due to its significant links to Doncaster Schools.
The School Crossing Patrol Service operates in alignment with the academic calendar, providing a crossing warden at those locations that meet the national criteria (calculated by the number of people crossing and the amount of vehicles passing). Many of these crossing locations are situated directly outside of, or in close proximity to, schools across Doncaster.
Given the strong links between the School Crossing Patrol Service and Doncaster Schools, and the close relationship many individual schools already have with their crossing warden, it was deemed an appropriate decision to transfer this service across to Learning and Opportunities, where the schools function is managed.
The current management of the School Crossing Service within the Community Safety Team forms a small part (approximately 20%) of a full time Community Safety Officer role. In order to facilitate the future management of the service within Learning and Opportunities, 20% of the Community Safety Officer salary budget has been requested to transfer alongside the warden roles. This equates to £9,430 per annum.
