Issue - meetings

To confirm the Minutes of the meeting of the Council held on 29 September 2022.

A correction to minute item 56, sentence to read:

“It was suggested WNC follow the example of other LAs and provide services, like free bus passes, to key workers.”

The following points to be added to minute item 61:

·       If the new school did not cater to children without significant speech delays, how would the gap in provision be filled?

·       Disappointment was expressed regarding the use of the word “complainants” in the report in reference to the SEND Action Group’s attendance at the 1^st September Cabinet meeting; it was felt that issues raised were not given enough weight.

·       A meeting with the SEND Action Group had been requested with sufficient notice for families of children and was yet to be arranged.

·       The issues raised by the SEND Action Group, including EHOP wait times, lack of understanding and acknowledgment of diagnoses, acknowledgement of failures, etc., were not covered by the opening of a new school.

With the addition of the above wording at minute items 56 and 61, the minutes of the meeting held on 29^th September 2022 were agreed and signed by the Chairman.
