Decision:

(b) That a workshop for Elected Members was arranged in the Autumn 2024 to outline the new legislation, the context of current placement commissioning (often referred to as Out of County Placements) and to explore options for developing our strategic approach for placement commissioning and further development of in-house placement provision.
