Issue - decisions

Resolved:  

                          i.          To note the proposed use of the DfE 2025-26 SEND Capital through grant allocation to identified schools to support adaptations of the learning environment for children and young people with SEND.

                         ii.          To delegate authority to the Corporate Director of Children and Education, the Director of Governance and the Director of Finance to take such steps as are necessary to develop the grant allocation process, procure, award and enter into the resulting grant agreements.

Reason:      This ensures that the SEND capital schemes can be delivered in the academic year 2026/27 to improve inclusion and accessibility. The use of the capital funding supports the delivery of the local SEND reform plan.
