Division/Wards Affected: All

Purpose: The Inclusion Service, within the Children, Learning, Skills and Economy (CLSE) Directorate has developed a new Inclusion Strategy and an updated ALN Policy to shape our work with children and young people in schools and settings in Monmouthshire.

The purpose of this report is to provide Cabinet with an opportunity to consider the Inclusion Strategy and the Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Policy to ensure that they are fit for purpose and meet the local priorities as outlined in the Learning Place section of the Community and Corporate Plan.

The EOTAS (education other than at school) Policy is also included as this was being developed at the time scrutiny.  The EOTAS Policy sits as an appendix to the ALN

Policy.
