Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

At the request of Schools Forum, the Department for Education/Secretary of State gave permission to establish a central Schools Block DSG expenditure budget of £1,000,000 to focus on two areas:-

Access and Safeguarding.

Decision:

To approve the Safeguarding and Access Capital allocations which were approved by the Learning Provision Organisation Board (LPOB) Safeguarding & Access Sub-Group on the 6th March 2019.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing - This would put the safety of Doncaster children at risk.
Option 2 - Approve all applications - This would remove the focus of a limited fund from the highest priority cases.
Option 3 - Agree the decisions of the Board - To focus on the highest priority need and not fund applications where only enhancements would be gained to existing systems. (Recommended)
