SEN Funding Booklet
Schools are required to use their SEN funding to support pupils with special educational needs.  There is sometimes a lack of clarity about how and when schools receive the funding and also about what it can be used for.
The SEN Funding Booklet explains how the funding works and gives guidance about how it should be used.
