Taith funding operates on a unit cost model. The funding level each staff member receives is dependent on the mobility duration and destination.
The average cost of sending a staff member on a Taith Schools Pathway 1 mobility is £922.
It is not possible to provide the information by teacher, by participating school. Data is collected on an all staff basis which will include teachers, senior school leaders, other school staff and local authority staff.
