To confirm the minutes of the meeting held on 26^th September 2025, raise any matters arising and review the Action Log.

The minutes of the previous meeting held on 26 September 2025 were agreed as a true and accurate record.

Actions

• Actions 85 and 108 have been on the action log for some time, and the situation has moved on significantly since they were first envisaged. The Forum agreed to close these actions.
• Actions 220 and 221 relate to information required about Combe House and other independent specialist providers. This will be completed directly after the meeting; therefore, these actions are now closed.
• Action 2025/02, concerning the timing of permanent exclusion funding adjustments, has been reviewed. The process is set out in school finance regulations, so this action is closed.
• Action 2025/03: As there were no significant changes from the Forum to the policy, it was agreed this action could be removed.
• Action 2025/04: Discussed as part of the monitoring report on today’s agenda – closed.
• Action 2025/05: Discussed today as part of the paper dealing with the de-delegation which funds the service – closed.
• Action 2025/06: An update on the RE Advisor is provided as a written appendix to these minutes, as this was missed on the day – action closed.

Any remaining actions will be carried forward to the next meeting in January.
