This report provides proposals for:
-the central retention of services for the 2025/26 financial year
where the LA retains a statutory duty to undertake activity to
support maintained schools only (both mainstream and
specialist);
-de-delegation of services for the 2025/26 financial year
applicable only to mainstream schools. These are services where
schools retain the statutory duties, but better efficiency could be
achieved through central delivery by the LA
