Consultees
A four-week public consultation is planned to take place between 07 January and 04 February 2019. At the end of the consultation period, a report will be provided for the Children’s, Young People and Education Cabinet Committee on the outcome of the consultation. Because of the timescale involved to enable the school to open the nursery at the start of Term 5 (if agreed), the public notice would have to be published at the beginning of March. Therefore, the decision will need to be taken by the Cabinet Member in February, outside of the Cabinet Committee Meeting.
Financial implications: There are no financial implications for KCC. The former Rainbow Pre-school accommodation forms part of the Children’s Centre located on the Bysing Wood Primary School site. The school will be able to take over this accommodation and will themselves finance the purchase of the equipment from the former Rainbow Pre-school.
Legal implications: Any legal implications will be identified in the report to the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education before he takes his decision to issue a public notice.
Equalities implications: An Equality Impact Assessment is attached and will also be accessible on line via the following link: www.kent.gov.uk/schoolconsultations at the start of the consultation.
