Consideration of the outcomes of consultation process regarding the pausing of the offer of residential provisions at Welburn Hall Special school

 

Yes

The purpose of the report is to consider the outcomes of the public consultation exercise regarding the pausing of the offer of residential provision at Welburn Hall Special school.
