Decision details

This report sets out a proposed structure to improve the delivery of support to children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

It is proposed to bring together six separate services to create the Inclusion and Disability Support Service -namely SEN Assessment, Educational Psychology Service, Early Years SEN Service, Lancashire Education and Inclusion Service, Strategy and Inclusion and Children with Disabilities Social Care. 

County Councillor Susie Charles, the Cabinet Member for Children and Schools:

(i)  approved the restructure of the Inclusion and Disability Support Service as detailed in the report;

Following agreement of recommendation (i), County Councillor Geoff Driver, the Leader of the County Council:

(ii)  approved the disestablishment/establishment of posts as set out at in the report.

The full report is not available for publication as it contains exempt information as defined in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972: Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual and Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information).

It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
