Early years and schools forum
The government requires that each local authority maintain an early years and schools forum to represent its schools' views on matters relating to the total schools' budget. There are national regulations which govern the composition, constitution and procedures of early years and schools forums. Although they operate in a mainly consultative and advisory role, the early years and schools forum also have some decision making powers in relation to the balance between the delegated and centrally retained funds within the schools' budget.
