The Chief Officer, Resources & Strategy
approved an educational placement at Knightswood Secondary School,
Glasgow, Scotland at a cost of approximately £79,200 (end of
KS4).
Placement at this young person’s current setting and other
specialist settings have been considered and due to the
environmental requirements and specialist staffing required to meet
this young person’s special educational needs (SEN), they
require a specialist placement. This request falls within the
exceptional criteria regarding a Child Looked After to Leeds moving
across border.
It is considered in the public interest that information contained
in the business case is exempt from publication as it relates to a
vulnerable child or young person within the City and the actions
taken are to enable that person to receive their statutory
entitlement to a minimum of 25 hours of education.
