Delivering Better Value in SEND – Acceptance of Grant Allocation from the Department for Education
|
Yes |
North Yorkshire Council has been participating in the Delivering Better Value in SEND programme, sponsored by the Department of Education through 2023. The programme, is intended to identify opportunities to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND and support LAs in improving the financial sustainability of their high needs budgets. All participating LAs are entitled to apply for an implementation grant of up to £1 million to support the delivery of a change programme. A grant application of £1 million has been submitted – this will be assessed by the DfE, and at this stage we cannot say if the grant application will be successful. However, because the time availability to deploy the grant is restricted, we are planning for all eventualities – and this report will outline the considerations in whether North Yorkshire should accept the grant allocation, if such an offer is forthcoming |
