<p>As set out in section 507B of the Education Act 1996, Local Authorities have a
statutory duty to “secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision

are required by section 507B(12) to have regard to the statutory guidance when exercising
the functions in relation to the statutory duty.</p><p>DCMS is committed to completing
