Brent
Brent Council is involved in a regional fostering hub to increase carer numbers and operates a shared SEN transport service.
Brent Council is one of eight London boroughs involved in the Foster with West London Regional Fostering Hub, a collaborative initiative to boost foster carer numbers. Harrow Council reaffirmed its commitment to the hub in May 2026, aiming to enhance recruitment and support for children in care.
Brent Council also operates a shared special educational needs (SEN) transport service with Harrow Council. A report to Harrow's Overview and Scrutiny Committee in January 2026 noted that Harrow aims to save £2 million annually by opening a new SEN school, which could impact the shared service. No upcoming meetings are currently listed where Brent Council is scheduled to discuss these topics.
