  SEN STATEMENTING

Do you agree with the approach proposed for delegating the SEN Statementing budget whereby there would be no change to the present assessment process and determination of funding for pupils with SEN Statements, but the accounting arrangements changed so that the greater part of the budget is allocated prior to the start of the financial year as part of the formula?
