Report CEF19005

The Schools’ Forum considered a report providing the financial information reported to the Children, Education and Families PDS Committee on 9^th July 2019.

The Head of Education and Children’s Services Finance reported that in 2018/19 Education had been cost neutral and Children’s Services had recorded an overspend in the region of £3m.  This overspend had been the result of a number of uncontrollable pressures such as placements and unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

In response to a question from the Chairman, the Head of Education and Children’s Services Finance confirmed that the budget for bulge classes was not underspent.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
