CABINET FORWARD PLAN

 

What is the Cabinet Forward Plan?

 

The Cabinet Forward Plan is a list of all non-key and key decisions the Authority intends to take during the next four month period.  The Plan is updated monthly on or around the 14th of each month and is available to view on-line at www.york.gov.uk

 

What is a non-key decision?

 

For the purposes of the Plan, a non-key decision is defined as a ‘decision of normal importance’ which:

 

·                 the Cabinet can collectively take as set out in Part 3 of the council’s constitution

 

·                 which any Cabinet Member can take individually in line with the Council’s Scheme of Delegation

 

What is a key decision?

 

A key decision is defined as a decision which is likely:

 

·                 to result in the Council incurring expenditure, or making savings, which are significant having regard to the Council’s budget for the service or function to which the decision relates i.e.:

 

           make a saving of more than 10% of the budget for a particular area  - or be more than £500,000

           require spending that is more than 10% of the budget for a particular area - or be more than £500,00

 

·                 to be significant in terms of its effects on communities

 

In addition to elected Councillors, chief officers can also take key decisions in line with the Officers Delegation Scheme as set out in Schedule 3, Part 3 of the Council’s Constitution

 

 

 

What information does the Forward Plan contain?

 

Each issue entered in the Forward Plan lists:

 

·                 The history of the issue in relation to the Forward Plan

·                 What consultation will be undertaken prior to a decision being made

·                 The name and contact details of the chief officer responsible for the issue and the forthcoming report

·                 The date of the meeting at which a decision is due to be taken

·                 The wards which will be affected by any decision taken

 

If I have a query about an entry on the Forward Plan, who do I contact ?

 

Wherever possible, full contact details are listed in the individual entries in the Forward Plan.  If you are unsure how to make contact or have any general enquiries about the Forward Plan, please ring Democratic Services on Tel No. 01904 551031

Purpose of Report:

i.              In April 2024 a report to Executive presented the results of an externally facilitated assessment against the recently refreshed Equalities Framework for Local Government (EFLG).

York’s Inclusion and Belonging Special Educational Needs and Alternative Provision Strategy 2025-2030

Description:

 

The executive report for the forward plan for York’s Inclusion and Belonging Special Educational Needs and Alternative Provision Strategy 2025-2030, will set out York’s Education, Health and Care strategic priorities and actions to improve the lived experience for children and young people and their families.
This strategy remains flexible and can adapt to anticipated National reforms from Autumn 2025 with a strong focus on supporting children and young people in their local mainstream school.

The strategy focuses on making sure our children and young people feel that they are valued and visible, around early identification and intervention, providing the right support at the right time, and ensuring children and young people are well-prepared for adulthood. The plan also addresses the need for a confident and skilled workforce and improved mental health support.

This strategy also includes a focus on children and young people who are not in school, who are educated at home, who are in alternative provision, or at risk of exclusion.

The first phase of the 5-year strategy will focus on consistency of inclusive practice in settings, improving the York Local offer and getting information out to families, it also aims to address the support needed for those children and young people who may be waiting for a neurodevelopment diagnosis. The implementation of the SEND hub in York will be a key milestone in the first phase.

There will be an action plan that drives this work forward with the governance of implementation through the SEND Partnership Board.

The Executive/ will be asked to approve the York Inclusion and Belonging Special Educational Needs and Alternative Provision Strategy 2025 to 2030.
