Scope & Purpose of Local High Needs Funding (LHNF):

• To provide a robust and transparent decision-making process for allocation of High Needs Funding at a local level for children and young people who have emerging needs and who do not have an Education Health and Care Plan.
• To ensure that there is local involvement in this process as well as involvement from HCC staff.
• To consider applications for LHNF from schools and settings and to agree funding, make arrangements to provide support to schools in the event of the application being declined, or both.
• All schools and settings across DSPL 4 are invited to attend 1 panel meeting per academic year.  Representation is highly valued and required in order for the panels to take place.
