The forum members agreed to set aside £40,000 from the SEN Support fund for Year 3 of the Enhanced Transition Project (ETP), and also discussed the National Funding Formula (NFF) for the upcoming financial year, pupil population projections, and high needs benchmarking data. The forum also noted reports on pupil population projections and high needs benchmarking for information.
