Personal Budgets in Education
See notes
1. How many children/young people within your Local Authority with an EHCP have no school or setting named in Section I of their Plan (as at Jan 24)?
There are two occasions where a CYP would not have a setting named in their plan:
A) Where they have an agreement for EOTAS, in which case Section I remains blank – there are 16 of these in Wokingham Borough Council.
B) Where the LA have named a type of provision as they are currently seeking an alternative placement, we do not hold data on this as what is named in Section I will depend on individual circumstances – i.e. whether they are currently in a setting that can continue to support them until a placement is found.
