5 Update on implementing the new policy for allocation of early years' full time places PDF 74 KB
Over the summer officers took the opportunity to update a previous assessment of the likely demand for and supply of fulltime places before commencing the consultation process with parents. Officers now need to reconsider the proposed minimum eligibility criteria given the potential mismatch between demand and supply. This will be followed by extensive consultation with parents as some children who are currently benefitting from fulltime provision may no longer be entitled to such provision. Parents/carers will therefore need an early indication if they are to make alternative provision.
Decision:
that the introduction of the new policy for allocating full time early years places be implemented from September 2012.
Minutes:
Councillor Arnold introduced the report which sought to delay implementation of a new policy for the allocation of early years full time places based on need from September 2011 as agreed by the Executive in February 2010.
RESOLVED:-
that the introduction of the new policy for allocating full time early years places be implemented from September 2012.
