That the Executive Member for Children, Young People and Families:

1.    Accepts the £947,306 of DfE funding for all 5 projects.  The benefits to our young people and staff will be immense.  Detailed below, more in-depth information regarding each project (1.1);

2.    Approves the Council entering into the grant agreement with the DfE on terms that are not materially different to those detailed within the report; and

3.    Notes the approval to spend will be sent for approval by the Co-operative Executive in accordance with the Capital process.

Note: As there is a very short deadline from DfE to accept the grant, the report is submitted under the Special Urgency Procedure and is removed from the Call-in Process.
