Dear Ms Francis,

 

Your request for information has now been considered and the information
shown below.

 

Please can you provide me with answers to the questions below. All
questions relate to children in the age range 6-19 with the SEN profile of
Severe to Profound & Multiple Learning Difficulties.

 

1.            How many children within your area have the above SEN
profile.

LBBD currently maintains 1061 EHCP's/SSEN of which 270 youngsters have SLD
as their main category of need & 41 have PMLD totalling 311 pupils for the
purpose of this enquiry.

 

2.            Do you place children in out-of-area provision, if required?
If so how many children in the last academic year were educated
out-of-area?

Yes of the 311 youngsters 295 are educated within the borough & the other
16 are currently in non-LBBD provisions

 

3.            Do you have any agreements/arrangements with neighbouring
authorities whereby provision is sought in these areas before looking at
provision via the general Section 41 list?

We currently have no agreements/arrangements with neighbouring boroughs.

 

4.            Have you entered into any education contracts with Scope for
placements at Meldreth Manor School (Fenny Lane, Meldreth, Royston, Herts

Within the last 5 years we have not entered any education contracts with
Scope for placements at Meldreth Manor School.
