‘A non-statutory, discretionary funding system designed to support children and young people (CYP) with emerging needs and for CYP who have needs that fall outside the EHCP process.’

In DSPL5 we have divided the area into 3 Clusters.  It is an expectation that SENCOs shall attend all 6 half-termly meetings.  You will discuss your application/s with the group and listen to applications from others.  You must attend to discuss your application or it will not get heard.  Advice, recommendations and mentoring amongst peers will take place and those applications that have been agreed will be brought to the final panel meeting.  Decision letters to settings will be issued as usual by the DSPL5 Manager.

FIF applications will need to be emailed to dspl5fif@greenlanes.herts.sch.uk
