Agenda item

Hester Collicut introduced the report (Agenda Item 11), which provided the most up to date information in relation to the Safety Valve Programme (SVP). Since the change in Government there had not been any notification received regarding the SVP. It still existed, however the ways LAs were invited into it was still unclear. No confirmation had been provided yet regarding how long SVP would continue. West Berkshire was currently in the DBV Programme. The report suggested that when information was available regarding changes to SVP, this would be brought forward to the Schools’ Forum rather than regular updates at each meeting which were not necessary when nothing had changed.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum noted the update and that information on SVP would be brought forward as and when it was available.
