We're seeking views on proposed initial changes to the High Needs National Funding Formula (NFF) as part of a longer term review of the NFF.
We have also published a step-by-step calculation of the updated historic spend factor amounts shown in table 2 in annex B of the consultation document (see historic spend factor calculation spreadsheet below). NB: the numbers in table 2 are not yet final.
The high needs National Funding Formula (NFF) calculates funding allocations to local authorities for children and young people in England with complex special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) or who require alternative provision (AP).
This consultation forms the first stage of a longer term review of the High Needs NFF. This review will be taken forward following the SEND review, and will consider how the distribution of High Needs funding can be improved, to achieve the highest quality support for the most vulnerable children and young people.
