Minutes:

Cabinet received details of the responses received following consultation on eight proposals for increasing or adapting Additional Learning Needs provision across Cardiff. It was reported that a total of 611 responses were received and these were contained within the report together with an analysis of the points made. The majority of the responses were supportive of the proposals overall, with the exception of the proposal relating to The Hollies special school and therefore this proposal would not be taken forward.
