Members considered contributing funding towards producing a film highlighting the challenges and opportunities for SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) young people in the Devizes Area trying to find employment.

The film would be a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary following young people with SEND looking for employment. It was explained that funding may be available from the Arts Council in 2015 however in order to start work on the film the funding needed to be secured in advance.

Resolved:

To grant £2,600 from the Area Board budget towards producing a film highlighting the challenges and opportunities for SEND young people in the Devizes area trying to find employment.

The next ordinary meeting of the Area Board would be Monday 26 January 2015.
