The Council has statutory duties under the Children’s Act 1989 to provide support to families with children who do not have access to public funds due to their immigration status but who have a recognised level of need.
The Cabinet will be asked to agree to the waiving of tendering requirements and the entering into of contracts with three organisations to provide temporary accommodation to those who qualify under the statutory arrangements.
