The first five briefing meetings follow the traditional format, ie there will be presentations covering the whole of the consultation document with an opportunity for questions.

The final briefing meeting will take the form of three workshops: covering the topics of Fair Funding Changes, Building Maintenance and Proposed Changes to the Resource Distribution Formula. Each workshop corresponds to a section in the forthcoming consultation document. There will be no general presentation about the consultation document at this final briefing meeting. Headteachers who have taken part in this year's consultation process will be at each of the workshops.
