Money Follows the Child

Money Follows the Child is a funding approach in education and child services that ensures financial resources are allocated based on the needs of individual children rather than the institutions they attend. This means that the funding "follows" a child to the school or service provider of their choice, allowing parents greater flexibility and control over their children's education. By prioritizing the child's needs, this system aims to promote better educational outcomes and accommodate diverse learning environments, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and effectively according to where they are most needed.
