 If you have a child with a finalised EHCP, SENDIF+ then stops and EHCP funding begins.
If this is halfway through a term, you will need to invoice the SEN team for the next term by sending in an invoice number, bank details, initials of the child and the date when the invoice was issued. The SEN team will pay for funded hours (e.g.15-30) at the rate of £10.17 per funded hour. Please send this information to julie.sabiston@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.
If the EHCP is finalised after the Easter holidays, then SENDIF+ will be processed as normal and you will not need to invoice the SEN team as the child should be starting school in September.
