Decision details

The Committee considered a report on the SEND Sufficiency Statement for children and young people with an education, health, care plan (EHCP).

During consideration of the item, the Committee resolved to move into part 2 to consider the confidential appendix to the report. The Committee moved back into part 1 for questions and debate.

During debate on the item, an amendment was proposed and seconded in respect of recommendation 3 which sought the inclusion of additional wording as follows:

‘Delegate authority to the Executive Director of Children’s Services in consultation with chair and vice chair of the Children and Families Committee to proceed with consultation on the proposals in Appendix 1 and undertake relevant actions in line with the school organisation process, with a report back to committee on the outcome in due course for consideration and decision’.

The amendment became part of the substantive motion.
