Removing Barriers

JOINT COMMISSIONING BY SCHOOLS

It is recognised that training is more beneficial when schools share training and develop expertise together. Central Government through the White Paper (The Importance of Teaching) and SEN Green Paper (Support and aspiration: A new approach to special educational needs and disability) are encouraging schools to work together in this way.

To support collaborative working please find below table of charges designed for joint commissioning by number of schools. This approach is useful and cost effective for those schools with a small number of pupils with a high level of need such as those pupils with a sensory impaired child, autism etc (minimum of 4 schools, with at least 2 delegates).

Number of Schools	1 Day (£ per school)	2 Day (£ per school)
4	209	278
5	167	222
6	139	185
7	119	159
8	104	139
9	93	124
10	84	111
11	76	101
12	70	93
13	64	86
14	60	79

NOTE: If New Parks House or Collegiate House are required as a venue there will be a slight increase in charge, with a minimum of 12 schools involved.
