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

Local SEND Reform Plan

Description:

 

Purpose of Report: The report will provide the Executive with information about the development of the Local SEND Reform Plan. The draft plan will be shared with Executive, with the final plan being submitted to the Department for Education by 18th June. The delivery of the plan is supported by the allocation of government grant funding. This grant funding is designed to build the infrastructure to support the local area to implement the SEND reforms. In the financial year 2026-27 York has been allocated £2.3 million of SEND Capital and £1.3 million to deliver the Experts at Hand offer. The Experts at Hand part of the grant will provide funding for local authorities to work in partnership with Integrated Care Boards to develop and deliver a new Experts at Hand offer for mainstream education settings. This new offer is designed to strengthen the capability of mainstream education settings to meet the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) more effectively and inclusively, by providing a new route to access expert advice and support from education and health professionals.


The Local Authority SEND Transformation part of the grant will fund the administrative costs for local authorities associated with:
• evaluating their existing SEND support services to mainstream settings
• developing and submitting local SEND reform plans

The Executive will be asked to:

i.             Approve the draft Local SEND reform plan which will include details about the use of government funding to implement the Experts at Hand model in York.

ii.            Delegate decisions about the use of government funding to deliver the SEND reform plan to the Corporate Director, Children and Education.
