Ofsted praises SEN funding approach in Leeds

The way young people with special educational needs are funded in Leeds is among a number of areas of practice to be praised following an inspection of provision.

They pointed out examples of good practice, particularly in providing funding for children with SEND. They praised services' approach of providing SEND funding whether or not a child had received a formal EHC plan or statement of special educational needs.
