Strategic Plan 2023 - Sufficiency of Specialist Places for Children and Young People in Bradford

This report sets out the analysis process that we undertake to enable the Local Authority to plan and ensure the sufficiency of specialist places across the district and provides an overview of the following information:

  • the current specialist provision available
  • the number of children and young people with an EHCP
  • the most prevalent primary needs of the children and young people with an EHCP
  • the projected growth of children and young people with an EHCP based on local and national data
  • whether or not there are sufficient specialist places for particular primary needs within each constituency, to meet current and projected demands
  • the type of provision that is projected to be required, for example Resourced Provisions, Special Schools or Enhanced Early Years Specialist Provision

This report highlights the projected scale of growth and the number of specialist places required to meet projected increase in demand. In order to assess and ensure that there are sufficient specialist places for statutory school aged children, this report primarily looks at school aged children and young people with an EHCP.
