I, Councillor Cammell, Lead
Member for Children’s
Services, in exercise of the powers contained within the City
Council Constitution do hereby
approve: Approve the indicative budgets costs to support the
expansion of Aim Habonim Special School as from a date after
September 2023.
 
The Reasons are:The expansion will create much needed additional capacity
for Salford children and young people with complex needs and will
support the Local Authority’s SEND pupil place planning and
need. It will support the strategy of enabling children and young
people with complex needs to safely access provision in their local
community rather than travelling outside of Salford.  

 
Options considered and rejected were:None
Assessment of Risk: If the city council does not
increase its SEND school provision to meet the projected demand,
then the city council would not be fulfilling its statutory duty in
relation to the provision of sufficient school places.
 
The source of funding
is: The capital cost will be met from within the city
council’s SEND Capital Grant.
