Minutes:
Councillor Grundy, Cabinet member for Children’s Services presented a report which sought consideration and approval of a policy for the installation of fire sprinklers in schools.

Details of the report considered by Council and the notice of motion were presented for Cabinet’s information.
Resolved:
That Cabinet approve the Fire Sprinklers in New Schools policy as set out in Appendix B to the report.
Reason for Decision
To meet Central Government expectations with respect to fire sprinklers in new schools and to reduce the potential impact on the Council’s schools portfolio of a significant fire incident.
