Have a comprehensive range of education and learning opportunities; The best possible health, free from abuse, victimisation and exploitation; Have access to play, leisure, sporting and cultural activities; Are listened to, treated with respect and have race and cultural identity recognised; Have a safe home and a community which supports physical and emotional wellbeing; Are not disadvantaged by poverty. Risks The associated with the proposal and counter measurements are detailed overleaf. Main Risk Counter Measures School not for occupation by published date Robust programme established clarifying critical path; ensure business cases are progressed in a timely manner and design/contractor appointments are managed in an appropriate timeframe. Insufficient funding available to progress preferred option. Early estimated costs to be established and checked at regular intervals through the design process; undertake value engineering if required. Funding delayed / stream stagnates and potential phased construction required resulting in increased costs. Robust and timely business case preparation/submission/approval to enable early indication of any potential problems so that the effect of any potential funding delay could be addressed at an early stage and minimised. Risk that the aspirations and expectations of users are not met. Consultation meetings will be held with stakeholders and help ensure that they understand the scheme and that the building has been designed to take account of needs. Planning issues encountered Make necessary changes to building design. Parents choose not to send their children to their designated school Quality of new build and provision attracts all current pupils on roll and into the future. School relocation may cause some disruption and uncertainty for a period of time. This can be kept to a minimum by working closely with the head teacher, governors and staff by planning the programme around the needs of the school.
