SACRE Budget Update
|
|
Purpose: |
To update East Sussex SACRE on the current budget position
|
Recommendations:
· NOTE the budget update for 2025/26.
Budget 2025/26
The allocation from Children’s Services for the work of SACRE for 2025/26 has been determined as £17,500 to support the continuation of current service. The funding for the Children’s Services Representative has been brought into the budget allocation (£7500).
We estimate a small overspend of £189.
This has been approved by Children’s Services.
Budget 2026/27
Whilst not confirmed, we anticipate the allocation being maintained for 2026/27. This arrangement will take us to the next Agreed Syllabus Conference scheduled for spring 2027 when the syllabus licenses and training offer are both up for renewal.
However, if the Agreed Syllabus is renewed for another year to accommodate the re-organisation of local government, anticipated cost may be postponed for a further year.
The Local Authority has been notified of the potential for additional costs when determining the next Agreed Syllabus.
