Decision details

LOCYP - 1819046 - Safeguarding and Access Capital Grant

Decision Maker: Director of People

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

At the request of the Schools Forum the Department for Education gave permission to establish a central schools block DSG expenditure budget to focus on two areas:-

* Access
* Safeguarding

The budget is provided to deliver learning environment improvements within schools, academies, PRUs and Learning Centres and it is expected that a 10% contribution will be required towards any project.

It is expected the funding will be allocated over a 3 year period with a review and progression report.

Decision:

To approve the following safeguarding and access capital allocations which were approved by the Learning Provision Organisation (LPOB) Safeguarding and Access Subgroup on the 10th October 2018:-

School - Works - Value
Northbridge Enterprise College - Security Fencing - £9409.04

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Do nothing - this would put the safety of Doncaster's 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.
