RESOLVED that Cabinet approved £784k one-off investment in the Children’s Services SEND Service to manage the backlog funded from a specific Earmarked Reserve.
Voting: Unanimous
Portfolio Holder: Children and Young People
(Councillor Vikki Slade declared an interest in this item and refrained from voting thereon)
Reason
Failure to act will result in children and young people continuing to not receive the support they are entitled to and risks further escalation by the DfE.
