Many children will have special educational needs at some time during their education. For most of them this will be a short-term need that can be met through the expertise and resources of their nursery, school or college, or with advice and support from outside professionals. Very few children will have needs that are long-term or a disability or medical condition that significantly affects their learning. In these cases an education, health and care plan may be required. What are special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)? Children and young people with SEND have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn than most other children and young people of the same age. Children may have additional needs if they have difficulties with: reading, writing, number work or understanding information expressing themselves or understanding what others are saying making friends or relating to adults understanding and following rules and routines organising themselves a medical condition which impedes learning a sensory or physical need which may affect them in school. Who can I talk to about my concerns? It is very important that children with SEND are identified as early as possible to ensure they start to get the support they need.

  • New Office Accommodation for OPDC at Brent Civic Centre, Wembley
    CEO DECISION – CD159 Title: New Office Accommodation for OPDC at Brent Civic Centre, Wembley Executive summary This decision seeks approval for OPDC to secure alternative office accommodation within Brent Civic Centre, Wembley. The need to relocate, away from OPDC’s current base a 169 Union Street, has arisen as a result of the GLA’s relocation from City Hall to the Crystal, Royal Docks; no fixed office or ‘anchor’ provision will be available to OPDC beyond July 2021.

This exercise has now concluded, and the preferred option is a relocation to Brent Civic Centre, Wembley. This decision follows on from the Chief Executive Officer’s report to Board in March 2021. Section 10 of that report set out the broad requirements for any new space and the emerging options. It also provided for a delegation to the CEO, to be exercised in consultation with the Chair, to secure new office space. Decision That the Chief Executive, having consulted with OPDC’s Chair: i. approves Brent Civic Centre as OPDC’s preferred relocation option and authorises Officers to enter into a 24-month licence agreement (with a break option at month 12) along with any other commitments necessary to secure the accommodation ii. approves expenditure of up to £125,000 p.a. for rent, service charge and Business Rates, noting that future annual approvals will be granted through the Corporation’s budget setting process iii. approves one-off expenditure of up to £30,000 for anticipated IT infrastructure and/or office set up costs iv.

  • Tokyngton Wards Are Major Destinations in Themselves in Addition to Being Residential Areas
    ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BRENT WARDING PATTERN SUBMISSION BY THE BRENT CONSERVATIVE GROUP RESPONSE TO THE LGBCE CONSULTATION NOVEMBER 2018 1 | P a g e Introduction Why Brent? During the current London Government Boundary Commission Executive (LGBCE) review process, it has become clear to us that since the previous review in 2000, warding levels have developed out of balance. Brent Council meets the Commission’s criteria for electoral inequality with 7 wards having a variance outside 10%. The outliers are Brondesbury Park at -16% and Tokyngton at 28%. Electoral review process The electoral review will have two distinct parts: Council size – The Brent conservative group welcomes to reduce the number of councillors to 57 from current 63. We appreciate that this will require some existing wards to be redrawn, and recognise that this will represent an opportunity to examine whether the existing boundaries are an appropriate reflection of how Brent has developed since 2000. In addition, the establishment of new developments such as South Kilburn Regeneration, Wembley Regeneration, Alperton and Burnt Oak and Colindale area. Ward boundaries – The Commission will re-draw ward boundaries so that they meet their statutory criteria. Should the Commission require any further detail on our scheme we would be very happy to pass on additional information or to arrange a meeting with Commission members or officers to run through the proposals. 2 | P a g e Interests & identities of local communities The Commission will be looking for evidence on a range of issues to support our reasoning. The best evidence for community identity is normally a combination of factual information such as the existence of communication links, facilities and organisations along with an explanation of how local people use those facilities.
