High needs funding reform

The Department for Education are introducing a national funding formula to make funding fair for local areas, children and young people.

High needs funding is for children and young people with special educational needs or disability who need extra support at school, college or alternative provision settings. Alternative provision settings are for children who can’t go to a mainstream school.

They are asking for people to fill in a short survey to give their views on the proposal.
