That the Executive schedule taking a final decision on this proposal on 19 November 2024

The implementation of Targeted Mainstream Provisions is one aspect of the Council’s SEND Capital Investment Programme. The implementation will have a positive impact upon the identified gap between mainstream and special school provision and provide families with an additional local provision option. This will enable the LA to better meet needs across the continuum of SEND provision and the county.

This matter was taken to Executive Member under Executive Members Delegation Scheme, paragraph 13 where “After consultation with the relevant Chief Officer to determine any Executive matter which is of such urgency that it is not practicable to refer it to the Executive for determination”. Due to the decision making timescale for this prescribed alteration, it would be unable to wait for Executive, and will be returning to Executive for final decision on implementation on 19 November 2024.
