Budget Context Funding Sources of BHISS DSG – High Needs Block £ 2. 297 m DSG – Exception funding £ 0. 199 m Council General fund £ 0. 377 m Services to Schools buyback – Literacy support service £ 0. 235 m Income from CCG and Public Health £ 0. 284 m Other income £ 0. 076 m Total Funding £ 3. 468 m • Inclusion Support Service now established for a year • Intention is to develop a greater traded services function in 2018/19 that offers good value for money to schools

Financial challenges facing BHISS • Exception funding for BILT ceased September 2016. Funding of £ 205 k previously held centrally for this service was returned to schools • Anticipated that existing DSG exception funding of £ 199 k unlikely to be approved by Schools Forum in autumn 2017 • All council services at risk of budget savings – BHISS has a saving of £ 200 k assigned in 2018/19

Funding for the Future • For 2018/19 seek to adopt a traded service arrangement • Need to define element of the service that will be traded • Viable model for the future – likely to require £ 400 k buyback across all schools • Method of charging to be determined
