Findings Most of the cases are at secondary age Main needs of pupils requiring an education personal budget are Autism and Social, Emotional and Mental Health A personal budget was agreed when education other than in school (EOTIS) was required Some cases moved to Brighton and already had an education personal budget 3 cases were tribunals Despite these cases being a very small cohort, they take up a lot of the SEN Team resources in terms of casework team time The process wasn t clear for families
