Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to the report of the Corporate Director Education.

The Corporate Director Education spoke in detail to the report and outlined the key points.

It was noted that an extensive consultation process had been undertaken with Pen y Cwm. A Member felt that it would be beneficial to establish a focus group of like-minded parents and asked if this could be explored.

The Corporate Director advised that the views of both parents and pupils will feature within the development of the strategy.

A Member referred to the Service Level Agreement and hoped that it was a live document which had sign up from everyone as it was important that Coleg Gwent was involved to make them aware.

The Committee AGREED that the report be accepted and the review of the Inclusion Service was agreed to ensure that the requirements of the ALN Act are met, this will include reviewing relevant resourcing, structures, job descriptions and ensuring that relevant arrangements are in place to fulfil the needs of the ALN Act (Option 2).
