This was discussed at QAG and there was some advice but I can't recall what
it was. I THINK it was that the DSA could pay for 3 missed sessions but it
might have been more. This is probably less of a problem with dyslexia tuition
than with more intensive support.
It might be in the guidelines on the DfES website.

<< payment for missed tutorials/lecturesDear Kirsty. I gather this is an
issue where LEA procedures and employment law clashes. We ve been told that casual
tutors would be paid for a month after a student decides to leave (with or
without notice) as we will need to give them a month notice. Leas, apparently,
would not be happy to pay for sessions the student did not attend so
Universities would have to pick up the costs. Pls let me know if you have any news that
refute the above positions. Regards, Andy

Hi all,
Apologies for going over old ground, but I've done a quick search in the
dis-forum archives and failed to find anything conclusive...
Can anyone advise of the DfES line on LEAs paying for booked note-taking
or learning support sessions the student didn't attend (for reasons not
relating to their disability)?
Now that we send LEAs student-signed timesheets when we invoice for
DSA-funded support it will be clear which were attended and which not, so obviously
we want to make sure we're getting it right, and know exactly how much notice
should be given in order for the support worker not to claim... Also, is there
an upper limit on the number of missed sessions the LEA should fund?
All the best,
Kirsty >>
