Rationale for decision

This will impact on additional targeted supports will not impact across the whole of education. Risks will need to be mitigated via careful deployment of resources within schools and through improvements to universal support which will be presented through the ASN Review. We have established processes for assessing the required support for children and young people via Inclusion Review Group and Strategic Inclusion Group which will ensure that those children who most need support will still have this. There will be no impact on employees as these are all temporary contracts.
