The Chief Officer, Resources & Strategy
approved an educational placement at St John’s Catholic
School at a cost of £165,600.
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. The authority has a statutory duty
to make provision for this child who has an Education, Health and
Care (EHC) Plan.
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.
