Issue - meetings

The minutes relating to the Children, Young People and Families Portfolio that have been considered by the Executive Board since the last meeting of this Board, were attached at Appendix 1 for information.

Clarity on the following was made:

EXB63 – the Schools Forum was the decision making body in respect of the transfer of 0.5% from the Schools Block to the High Needs Block.

EXB78 – Edinburgh Road Children’s Home had been de-registered by Halton Borough Council, not Ofsted.

EXB 81 – a small number of schools would see a reduction in funding in 2018/19.  Most of these reductions were due to falling pupil numbers.  Other funding factors that have had an impact in school funding had been the increase in funding for low prior attainment and change to funding for deprivation.

RESOLVED:  That the minutes are noted.
