Agenda item

The progress against actions arising from previous meetings was noted.

Cathy Burnham provided an update against Action 1 regarding the impact of the Vulnerable Childrens’ Fund. She had sent out a survey to all schools and received 7 replies. The majority of those responses explained that the fund was used on one-to-one support and the fund prevented 4 out of  7 exclusions. In response to a question from Keith Watts, Cathy Burnham explained that 46 schools had accessed the fund in the previous year.

An update regarding Action 2 would be covered under the Membership update later on the agenda.

Action 3 was covered by a report later on the agenda.
