A report was received on proposals to transfer funding from the Council to Slough Children’s Services Trust for services to children assessed as having a Special Educational Need (SEN).  The services were transferred to the Trust in October 2015, however, both parties agreed that the formal transfer of funding should be delayed due to the complex financial issues involved.  Both parties now agreed the funding with a total value of £14.298m could be transferred.  The Cabinet considered the report and agreed the recommendations.
