Answer

From a bid of £19.9m submitted at the recent October Monitoring the Education Authority received £4.6m in additional block grant funding which will be used to fund in-year inescapable demand-led Special Educational Needs (SEN) pressures.

The assessment of the pressures was made at a corporate level and not disaggregated to individual school level or on a regional basis.
