High needs funding 2019 to 2020 operational guide
This guide describes how the 2019 to 2020 high needs funding system will work for all types of provision. It provides key dates and activity for the delivery of 2019 to 2020 high needs funding and sets out changes from the 2018 to 2019 funding arrangements.
The guide also includes information on funding arrangements for alternative provision, which was previously covered in separate guidance, and expands on the arrangements for top-up funding.
The national funding formula tables for 2019 to 2020 were published in July, including provisional high needs allocations for local authorities for 2019 to 2020.
