SEN/AEN VfM Resource Pack for Schools

Click here to access the VfM Summary document

Achieving value for money is important to schools.

Schools want to know how to make the most of the resources available to them. Value for money (VFM) means making best use of available resources – including getting better outcomes for the same spend. This SEN/AEN Value for Money Resource Pack aims to support schools to this end.

The resource pack is a voluntary improvement tool. It includes a seven-stage model for SEN/AEN value for money, covering budgets and spend, needs assessment, provision and evaluation. Its self-review format prompts information gathering so that schools can bring together all relevant management information and build a picture of their current practice in one place. Papers linked to the questions provide explanation of the themes and real examples of good practice in schools, gathered through fieldwork. The papers include hyperlinks to other websites and to documents providing further information, including statutory guidance and relevant legislation. An action plan – the final stage in the process – is generated from responses to the self assessment.

Sarah McCarthy-Fry, the Minister with responsibility for SEN and disabilities, has written to all headteachers and chairs of governing bodies. She stresses the importance of continuing to tackle bullying in schools, especially as research indicates that children with SEN and disabilities can be particularly vulnerable to bullying.

The letter also asks schools to look carefully at how exclusions of children with SEN and disabilities can be reduced, and ensure there is monitoring and evaluation of the progress being made by children with SEN and disabilities.

Schools should also ensure they have consulted on and published a disability equality scheme. The scheme must be actively implemented, monitored and evaluated, to drive the improvement of outcomes for disabled children.
