Thanks Sara,
I appreciate your comment about the pros and cons and am aware of the
variation between LEAs and of the 'it depends if' x or y happens.
At this stage I really just want a general overview of whether or not
delegation has been a beneficial move for the pupils and profession as a
whole across England.
Figuring out how to realise the ideal is another question entirely!
Cheers,
Jonathan

General response is that Yes/No won't do it as there are pros and cons
which 
need explanation... S

Dear colleagues in England,

Please could as many of you as possible respond to this very quick
request 
with a simple YES or NO direct to my email address 
real.public at btinternet.com NOT to the forum?

Aside from individual schools where good working relationships have
yielded 
positive results, as a whole would you say that delegation of EMAG
funding 
to schools, rather than funding being retained by central LEA services,
is 
beneficial for the pupils and for our profession?  On balance, a simple
YES or NO is all I need to get a general picture.

Many thanks
Jonathan Brentnall
