RESOLVED: that • the proposed 5-year Youth Service strategy for Cardiff be agreed. • the proposed vision, principles and integrated locality operating model be endorsed.
Cabinet considered a report seeking approval for a five?year strategy for Youth Work in Cardiff, setting out a strategic framework to respond to the evolving needs and challenges facing young people across education and community settings. The report outlines that the proposed strategy builds on previous Cabinet decisions in November 2023, which established a new vision, principles and a locality?based operating model for youth services, and reflects the Council’s wider commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people and tackling inequality. It was noted that the strategy has been developed within a clear national and legislative context, including statutory duties under the Learning and Skills Act 2000 and revised Welsh Government guidance requiring each local authority to publish a five?year Youth Work Strategy. The strategy has been informed by extensive engagement, including a nine?month appraisal process and consultation with partners and young people, which generated over 1,500 responses and directly informed the proposed priorities. The strategy responds to a range of complex issues affecting young people, including poverty, adverse childhood experiences, and the ongoing need to support those not in education, employment or training. The strategic framework is structured around six priority areas: participation and inclusion; Welsh language provision; curriculum development and targeted support; safeguarding; workforce development; and partnership working. RESOLVED: that • the proposed 5-year Youth Service strategy for Cardiff be agreed. • the proposed vision, principles and integrated locality operating model be endorsed.

Cabinet considered a report outlining the outcomes of the public consultation on proposals to expand and realign Additional Learning Needs (ALN) provision across the city. The report sets out proposals previously approved for consultation in December 2025, which aimed to increase specialist provision for learners with Autism/Social Communication Needs, Complex Learning Needs and Emotional Health and Wellbeing needs. These proposals included the establishment of new specialist resource bases within existing school buildings and increases in capacity at a number of special schools and existing provision. The consultation process was undertaken in accordance with the School Organisation Code 2018 and ran from 9 February to 26 March 2026. The consultation was structured to support engagement across the three broad areas of need, with a range of accessible materials produced, including bilingual consultation documents, summary versions in multiple languages, and child-friendly formats. The report highlights that the proposed changes are intended to address increasing demand for specialist ALN placements and ensure that provision is better aligned to identified needs across the system. The approach focuses on enhancing local provision within mainstream settings where appropriate, alongside expanding capacity within special schools, thereby supporting inclusion and improving sufficiency of places. In considering the report, Cabinet noted the outcomes of the consultation process and the strategic approach to increasing ALN provision, recognising the importance of ensuring sufficient, appropriate placements to meet the needs of children and young people across the city.
