    Simple

    Yes. The fact that the LA has a policy of delegating “all” SEN funds to schools independently of the EHCP regime is not an answer to an appeal against a refusal to assess or make an EHCP. Funding follows an EHCP not the other way round. The FTT is not bound by an LA policy which tries to have that effect.

    More: Does section F have to specify things like how much provision a child or young person requires, and how often?
