About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to Social Finance Limited for a feasibility study to inform a future value for money study of SEN provision for pupils with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans in England.

The study involved investigating cost data available from local authorities and educational settings, reviewing relevant outcomes information, and outlining how value for money could be assessed.

The methodology included an evidence review and qualitative engagement with educational settings and local authorities, resulting in a report summarising the cost and outcomes information required to determine value for money of SEN provision and the extent to which it is possible to obtain this.

The contract value was AUD 64,476.
