A Birmingham City Council spokesperson said:
“Like all other City Councils, Birmingham is facing a very challenging time in terms of the budget position for the next few years. A number of areas within the children’s directorate are under review, including the de-commissioning of Appledore Residential Family Assessment Centre and re-provision of the service through a commissioning strategy.
“No decision has yet been made. Our priority is to sustain effective front line services for young people through this challenging time. We will continue to remodel our services to this end and will continue discussions with the relevant unions regarding the measures we intend to take.”
