Agenda item

Claire White reported that a team had been formed by ESFA with the aim of scrutinising each local authority’s Schools’ Forum. In particular they would be checking that all information was up to date on websites and Forums were adhering to regulations and voting rules. A total of 75 local authorities had been scrutinised so far as part of the process, so it was anticipated that West Berkshire would be contacted soon, unless it had passed all scrutiny checks. A questionnaire would be sent out to School Forum Clerks in the near future as part of the piece of work.
