Strategic SEND Planning, Funding and Resource Management
Relevant to Business Managers. Senior Leaders.
Description
This CPD session supports School Business Managers and operational leaders to strengthen the alignment between SEND priorities, financial planning and resource management. As demand and complexity around SEND continue to grow, the session explores how inclusive practice, staffing structures and funding decisions contribute to long-term sustainability. Participants will develop a clearer understanding of SEND systems and strengthen their ability to translate inclusion priorities into effective financial planning.
Participants will explore how to:
- understand SEND systems, funding and statutory responsibilities
- consider the financial implications of inclusion and high levels of need
- align budgets and staffing models with SEND priorities
- strengthen strategic collaboration with leaders, SENDCos and governors
- evaluate how resources are deployed and monitored for impact
Through practical guidance and collaborative discussion, participants will be better equipped to support sustainable, inclusive practice across their school.
