High Needs Funding

The recently launched system called Perspective Lite (part of the Broadcast Plus platform) for sharing documents between settings and the Local Authority, is fully operational across mainstream and specialist unit settings.  Special Schools are moving to the system in the spring 2025 term.  FE and non-Suffolk settings should continue to use the email system.
