How much is the DfE grant funding and how can I spend it?

DfE Grant amount and allowances

The DfE grant funding is £1,200 per school to train a Senior Mental Health Lead.

Training provider costs vary but Creative Education's in-depth training programme has been approved for funding and costs £1,200 plus vat. That means if you book your place with us your school or college can reclaim every last penny of the course fee.

There is only one point of funding per school – it’s helpful if the person needing the training books on themselves.
