High needs funding arrangements for Southend maintained schools and academies

Consultation by the Director of Learning

Introduction

This document sets out proposed changes to how high needs top-up funding is passed to state maintained schools in Southend. It sets out the background to the current situation, issues with the current system, and proposes options of how these may be resolved. In addition it looks at a possible way of releasing top up funding to schools without the need for an EHC needs assessment.

The consultation includes questions on the proposals set out and on the options and how to introduce them.

The outcome from this consultation could be 1) Continue specifying LSA hours in EHC plans. or 2) Introduce Banding a) for new plans while continuing with LSA hours until individual EHC plans are amended. b) For all EHC plans and covert the LSA amount to an equivalent band and fund at that rate from a set date. and 3) Introduce ‘SEN Support Plus’ to fund top-up support without an EHC needs assessment.

You can respond to this consultation on the survey section of the Southend Learning Network, or by email to [email protected]. When responding to the survey you will need to confirm that you have read this document and are responding on behalf of the governing body of the school, or have permission to respond on their behalf. Therefore the first two questions of the consultation relate to this. The deadline for response is 21st December 2016.

Consultation questions

1. Have you read the document ‘High needs funding arrangements for Southend maintained schools and academies’?

2. Do you have permission to respond on behalf of the school?

SECTION1

Background and current situation

Prior to April 2013  Southend schools were expected to put in around 5 hours’ worth of LSA support for SEN pupils, both at School Action Plus or statement level.  Southend LA paid for the support specified in a child’s statement if they attended a Southend school, no matter which LA issued the statement – this was then recouped from the child’s LA at a later date.  Southend LA allocated some of its SEN funding to build on the 5 hours LSA available at School Action Plus with the use of additional delegated funds (Action Plus STAR). This provided schools with more flexibility in using their SEN budgets and allowed them to be more proactive in providing help at the earliest opportunity.  For pupils with statements in primary school, Southend LA specified the funding it would provide to the school based on the equivalent number of hours of LSA, on top of the 5 hours at School Action Plus, for the school to meet the child’s needs. The LSA rate was agreed by schools forum.  For pupils with statements in secondary schools, Southend allocated a support band (A to E) which provided the school with a specified amount of money to support them to meet the child’s needs.

In April 2013 the government introduced changes to how schools and LAs were funded to meet the needs of SEN pupils. This was part of a wider plan to align and simplify how schools and further education colleges are funded by the Education Funding Agency (EFA). The Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) given to the LA to fund all schools and academies was split into 3 notional blocks – the Schools Block (SB), the High Needs Block (HNB) and the Early Years Block – the size of the blocks were based on prior spending in the LA.

It was at this point the notional SEN budget from which mainstream schools and academies were to provide the nationally prescribed threshold per student per year of £6,000 was introduced. Where a child had a statement the school still had to provide the £6,000, and the LA that issues the statement would ‘top-up’ the support to the cost of the support on the statement. Southend, in line with many LAs stopped using bands for secondary schools and moved all statement funding to be equivalent to a number of LSA hours.

Southend determined that £6,000 was equivalent to 12.5 hours LSA support per week and the LA would pay for all hours above this. Other LAs applied their own methodology, for example Essex calculate total cost of LSA hours specified and deduct £6,000.

Funding given to all maintained mainstream schools and academies across the country included the notional SEN element. In Southend it was agreed by schools’ forum to move some funding from the HNB to the SB to compensate this additional burden on schools.

Funding for special schools and resourced provision in mainstream schools was also changed at this time. These places are funded on a ‘place plus (top-up)’ approach. The top-up is based on bands one of two bands for units and one of three for special.

All new statements were issued with funding specified as equivalent hours of LSA. Due to the differences with Essex, with agreement from the schools forum the LSA rate has since been increased and the number of LSA hours equivalent to £6,000 is now deemed to be 13.

Children who require support in early years settings is also specified as a number of hours. This is in addition to the usual ratio of staff to pupils, which depending on age can be as low as 1:4.

When EHC plans were introduced in September 2014 the funding mechanism remained and plans specified hours of LSA. As statements are being converted to EHC plans and should not exist from April 2018, the rest of this consultation document will only refer to EHC plans but you can read this to include statements that have yet to be converted at this point.

Reasons for change

Evidence suggests that LSA support is not the most effective way of supporting the majority of children, mainly as it reduced the amount of teacher time they receive. In fact studies have shown the more LSA support pupils received, the less progress they make1. SEN children in school that use a variety of ways to support them often have better outcomes than those where the majority of support is provided by a 1:1 LSA.

Despite this evidence parent feel that individual attention, most often requested as 1:1 LSA support, is the best way to support their child. This starts when children are in nursery and can continue even into further education. This clearly goes against the ambitions of increasing independence and resilience to prepare children and young people for adulthood from the earliest years stated in the SEND Code of Practice2.

The text in EHC plans states the support is intended to be equivalent to the number of LSA hours and not all delivered as individual LSA support. However, stating what is effectively a cash amount given to school to use in the best way to meet the child’s needs as LSA hours increases parental expectation that this is how the support is intended to be used. Parents often put pressure on schools to provide this type of support, as they feel unless their child has the number of LSA hours specified, their child is not receiving the support as set out in the EHC plan.

There is also a perverse incentive for those schools that do use flexible approaches to meeting pupils SEN to put in 1:1 support in order to justify how the additional resource are being spent on that child.

The rate used to fund LSA hours is different in Southend to Essex, as is their way of calculating the amount of top up to play. This has caused issues when Essex schools invoice the LA for a child’s support. This can also cause problems when schools invoice other LAs for LAC living in Southend.

1 http://maximisingtas.co.uk/assets/content/dissressum.pdf 2 SEND Code of Practice, p124, para 8.5 Early years setting receive funding which if used as 1:1 can increase the child’s dependence and set the expectation for parent from an early age that 1:1 is the best way to support them.

There is currently no consistent methodology or criteria used to determine the support band for children and young people placed in special schools and resourced units. This could mean the same child having a higher value of top-up in a resourced provision than if they attended a mainstream school.

Funding bands

Not specifying the support as LSA hours may reduce parental expectation this is how the support must be delivered, and encourage schools to use more flexible approaches with their most needy pupils.

One way of doing this would be to simply put a cash value in the EHC Plan, but while this method is used by some LAs, it can cause expectation problem of its own.

Another method, used by a large number of LAs, is the type of banded funding model used at secondary schools in Southend prior to April 2013. A number of LAs, including Essex are proposing to move towards a banded funding system across all their schools and units.

Introducing a banded funding model (or retuning to it for secondary schools) should help to remove some of the issues highlighted above.

A band of support can be allocated to a child based on their level of need and consistently applied across schools and settings, whether mainstream or resourced unit (and potentially special school, however this is not currently included in this proposal). The current mainstream unit funding bands 1 and 2 would link to 4 and 1 respectively.

While there could be any number of bands we are proposing limiting this to 5. This will allow for there to be enough of a difference between the descriptors in order for allocation to be effective and consistent. It is anticipated that there will be relatively few children in mainstream schools at the highest cost band.

The sections below and appendices contain different models of banding amounts. Some models are more linked to the cost of current provisions than others.  Models 1 and 4 link in best with the cost of resourced units in mainstream schools.  Model 4 uses the values currently being proposed by Essex.  Models 1 and 2’s band values are multiples of lowest band.  Model 3’s values are based on the most commonly funded amounts.

For each funding band there will be a descriptor of need and examples of the provision that could be provided to enable greater transparency when these are allocated. This will provide consistency when allocating resources to children with the same level of need and also promote consistency of provision across settings. If it is agreed to move to a banded funding system, these descriptors will need to be agreed based on the preferred model.

Consultation questions

3. Do you agree with the principle of removing LSA hours from statements and EHC plans and moving to a banded funding system?

4. What opportunities does this approach to top up funding bring?

SECTION 2

Introducing changes

If it is agreed to move to banding then how this is introduced will need to be considered.

One option would be to covert fully to banded funding from a set date. This would involve converting the current LSA amounts on EHC plans to an equivalent band and fund at that rate and all new EHC plans being issued with a band; EHC plans with LSA hours would be changed to state the relevant band as and when they are amended. More details of how this could work are set out in the section below.

An alternative option would be to fund by both systems, phasing out LSA hours while introducing bands. This would involve new EHC plans being issued with bands and LSA hours gradually removed and replaced with bands as and when the plans are amended following annual review (usually at change of Key Stage).

Each system will have advantages and disadvantages. Financing two systems at the same time may cause issues; conversely simply changing from hours to bands may reinforce the link back to LSA hours for staff and parents.

Consultation question

5. If a banded funding is introduced, would you prefer to change to this system from a set date rather than gradually as EHC plans are amended?

SECTION 3

Converting LSA hours to bands

If the change to a banded funding system is implemented from a set date, current LSA amounts on EHC plans will need to be mapped to and paid at an equivalent band rate.

The current levels of LSA support, while they can be any number of hours tend to be multiples of 5. The minimum amount that is currently funded is 15 hours, the maximum is generally 35. There are a number of ways of mapping these hours onto bands – four options are set out below, with greater details on the impact for the HNB as a whole and per school set out in the appendices to this document.

The limitation on how the hours have been equated to bands is that the total cost of support across all schools should not exceed the current allocated amount as there is no capacity in the HNB for an overall increase. The values used in the models and shown in greater detail in the appendices are based on the 2016 summer term expenditure for children with EHC plans attending Southend maintained mainstream schools.

Obviously each model will affect individual schools in different ways. This is also detailed in the appendices. It is worth noting the difference to each school in terms of both percentage and cash amount, for example an 8% difference can mean as little as £500 for a school with few funded LSA hours or as much as £9,300 in a school with a larger number of funded LSA hours.

It is worth noting that the addition or removal of one child with a 20 hour plan (the most common level of support) currently changes school funding by £3200 – an amount which covers the majority of the differences by school in most models as shown in the variance by school appendices (50% to 95% depending on model).

Converting hours to a funding band also allows the movement from current funding to favour either those with less or greater need. There can be arguments made for both scenarios, and keeping the status quo.

An argument for shifting funding to lower need pupils is that while two schools may receive a similar amount of top up funding, if school A has a high number of low need pupils while school B has a low number of high need pupils, as both schools will be putting in the first £6000 for each pupil, the high number of low need pupils will cost far more to school A than the few high need pupils will cost school B. Conversely it could be argued that if a school has better systems in place to meet the need of the low cost pupils at SEN support they may be bearing the additional support that another school with high numbers of low need receives funding for.

The models in detail

Model 1 This model uses 5 bands that increase in value by £1,815, up to a maximum of £9,075. On top of the £6,000 nationally prescribed threshold this would provide £15,075 worth of support that is additional to or different from the support available to other pupils.

To converting LSA hours it groups the multiples of 5 hours together in a band (i.e. 15 to 19, 20 to 24 etc).

In terms of current spending it shifts the balance of expenditure toward the pupils with the lower cost needs, and there are very few pupils in this model who would qualify for the highest level of support. It is effectively cost neural for mainstream schools and for resourced units in mainstream schools.

The funding changes by less than £3,200 for 82% of schools. The largest change in terms of cash amounts is a loss of £8,400 (7.1%), and a gain of £5,900 (4.8%). The largest percentage changes are a loss of 11.9% (£4,200) and a gain of 14.3% (£3,400)

Model 2 This model uses 5 bands that increase in value by £2,000, up to a maximum of £10,000 (or £16,000 of ‘additional to or different from’ support).

To convert LSA hours it groups the multiples of 5 hours higher than 25 together, but due to the relatively large number of pupils who receive 20 hours LSA support which at £3,200 sits between the band amounts, this has been rounded down into the lower band.

In terms of current spending it shifts the balance of expenditure toward the pupils with the higher cost needs, and also includes for a higher number of pupils in the highest band. It results in an underspend of 3.5% (around £64,000). It will result in an overspend of around £28,000 for resourced units in mainstream schools.

(It is anticipated that as the plans of those with 20 hours LSA support were reviewed, this underspend would soon be redistributed to those who require a greater level of support as schools would request for the higher band amount.)

The funding changes by less than £3,200 for 70% of schools. The largest change in terms of cash amounts is a loss of £11,400 (13%), and a gain of £6,900 (5.8%). The largest percentage changes are a loss of 17.4% (£5,000) and a gain of 11.7% (£6,300)

Model 3 This model uses 5 bands starting at £1000 then increasing in value by £1000, £2000 and then by £2,500 up to a maximum £10,500 (or £16,500 of ‘additional to or different from’ support).

To convert LSA hours it groups multiples of 5 hours together above 15 (i.e. 15, 16 to 20, 21 to 25 etc).

It does not significantly affect the balance of expenditure toward either pupils with the higher or lower cost needs. It results in an underspend of 0.65% (around £12,000) compared to the current level of expenditure.

The funding changes by less than £3,200 for 95% of schools. The largest change in terms of cash amounts is a loss of £3,900 (4.4%), and a gain of £9,400 (7.9%). The largest percentage changes are a loss of 8.3% (£1,000) and a gain of 9.7% (£9,400)

Model 4 This model uses the 5 band values of Essex funding model, starting at £1800 then increasing by various amounts to a maximum £10,000 (or £16,000 of ‘additional to or different from’ support).

To convert LSA hours each band contains the multiples of 5 hours.

It increases expenditure for pupils with the lowest and highest cost needs, and reduces expenditure for the middle 3 bands. It results in an underspend of 8.07% (around £151,000) compared to the current level of expenditure.

The funding changes by less than £3,200 for 50% of schools. The largest change in terms of cash amounts is a loss of £12,000 (13.8%), and a gain of £1,500 (8.4%). The largest percentage changes are a loss of 8.3% (£2,300) and a gain of 9.7% (£9,400)

Consultation question

6. If banded funding was to be introduced in Southend please list the 4 models in order of preference. Please give reasons for your choice.

SECTION 4

Funding high needs top-up without an EHCP

We are proposing to introduce a mechanism to provide top-up funding without the need for a statutory EHC needs Assessment. For the purposes of the proposal this is referred to as SEN Support Plus.

SEN Support Plus will allow Southend LA to provide top up funding to Southend pupils where a school (or college) provide evidence a child’s SEN requires more than the nationally prescribed threshold amount (£6,000).

The school will be required to provide evidence of how they are using their resources before any top-up funding is allocated. They will be required to give details of their assessment of needs – which should include external advice – and the provision in place based on this assessment. If the LA agrees the support required is more than the school can provide, it can allocate additional ‘top-up’ funding via SEN Support Plus.

The threshold used to determine if SEN Support Plus will be provided is the same for initiating an EHC needs assessment. The allocation of funding will be monitored via an Individual Support Plan (ISP) and the reviewed ISP submitted to the LA at the end of the year. If continued funding is felt to be required this can be done at this time using the reviewed ISP and provision map to show how funding is being used and what progress is being made in improving the child’s outcomes.

The idea behind this is to help schools put support in quickly and reduce the bureaucracy and cost associated with an EHC plan. It is envisaged this will be used where a school has already identified the support required and it is likely that it will only be needed for 1 or 2 years. If a child is likely to require on-going support and EHC needs assessment will be carried out. It is not envisaged SEN Support Plus will be suitable for LAC or children who do not live in Southend – an EHC needs assessment should be requested for these pupils.

We propose that requests will be considered half termly by a panel of SENCOs and LA Officers, and as we would expect to see evidence of the support already in place, any funding agreed will be allocated from the start of the term the request was made.

Ideally the school will be allocated a funding band which will enable them to put in place the interventions required and work on building the child’s resilience, rather than increasing reliance by allocating an individual LSA.
