31/01/2022 - PROPOSED EXPANSION OF RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN’S HOMES

  1. Approve expansion of our in-house children’s residential home provision by converting existing council properties into two new children’s homes, to accommodate 5 and 6 young people respectively, between the ages of 8 and 17 years.

 

  1. Approve the part use of the existing department capital policy provision of £6.7m to fund the schemes. This will also be supported by the match funded DfE capital children’s home grant award for £0.5m.
