Question: How do I go about extending the budget?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Supporting children and young people with SEND as schools and colleges prepare for wider opening
section_headers: Questions and answers
Does school or college provision have to be delivered as it usually is for children and young people with EHC plans?
section_content: Due to the unprecedented circumstances presented by coronavirus, the section
42 Children and Families Act 2014 duty to secure the provision within an EHC
plan has been temporarily modified so that local authorities and health
commissioning bodies must use their ‘reasonable endeavors’ to discharge this
duty. This means that local authorities and health bodies must consider what
they need to provide for each individual child or young person with an EHC
plan during the period that the modified section 42 duty is in force. For some
children and young people, the provision specified in their plan will continue
to be delivered, but for others, the provision may need temporarily to be
different to that which is set out in their EHC plan.
More information is available in the guidance on changes to the law on
education, health and care needs assessments and plans due to
coronavirus.
As per the actions for education and childcare settings to prepare for wider
opening from 1 June 2020
guidance, no school will be penalised if it is unable to offer a
broad and balanced curriculum to its pupils during this period.
*[EHC]: education, health and care plan

This answer does not go into any detail about how to extend a budget that I can see
This answer needs to be improved because it mentions a budget adjustment, but no where does it mention how people can adjust their budgets during the pandemic. This information is most important in order to answer the question.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance School funding: exceptional costs associated with coronavirus (COVID-19) for the period March to July 2020
section_headers: How schools can access funding
section_content: Funding will be available to cover costs relating to specific items. These
items are ones we judge are likely to be necessary to allow schools to provide
appropriate support to those children who will continue to attend school under
the current arrangements.
Funding will be available to schools that are unable to meet such additional
costs from their existing resources, or which they could only meet by drawing
down on reserves and undermining their long-term financial sustainability.
While we are not asking schools to draw on existing reserves to meet these
costs, we do not expect schools to make a claim against this funding if they
are anticipating that they will be able to add to their reserves in the 2020
to 2021 financial year.
We are asking schools to make the necessary payments from their existing
budgets and record these in line with local finance policies. In June, we will
publish further guidance for schools on the process for informing us of any
additional costs relating to coronavirus (COVID-19). We understand the
significant challenges schools are facing at present and will therefore make
the process for reporting this information as simple as possible. We will then
make payments – direct to academies, or to local authorities to pass onto
their schools – to reimburse schools for costs they apply for up to the limits
set out below.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
I say it could be improved because it talks about providing funding for institutions in need but not actually how to extend a budget.
This is an excellent answer because it provides information about what funding is being sent to schools, and how schools may need to adjust their budgets in the meantime. It does describe how schools can adjust their budgets, and where to get more information about it.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Maintaining education and skills training provision: further education providers
section_headers: Traineeship flexibilities
Extending 19 to 24 adult education budget and 16 to 18 traineeships without 16 to 19 study programme funding
section_content: Where learners need longer than originally planned to complete their
traineeship, programme providers should stretch their existing planned
learning aims over a longer duration.
The planned end date must not under any circumstances be changed or extended
within the ILR. Providers should continue to record the end date of the
programme using ‘Learning Actual End Date’.
Additional funding demand in 2020 to 2021, as a result of the programme’s
actual end date extending from the original planned end date in 2019 to 2020,
may impact on the availability of growth in 2020 to 2021 if there is not
sufficient budget available to support demand. It is your responsibility to
ensure you meet the cost of trainees that continue into the following year
within your funding year allocation.
This is a temporary measure that applies only in this period of social
distancing and while students are not able to access work placement activity.
For more information, we are publishing a traineeship addendum to the ESFA
adult education budget funding rules 2019 to
2020 on 13 May.
[ILR]: individualised learner record
  [ESFA]: Education Skills Funding Agency

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer in no real way addressing the question. The answer only brushes over the topic in a general way.
This is an acceptable answer because it does mention budget adjusting, and what can cause a need for a budget adjustment. It is not excellent though because it needs more information about exactly how others can adjust their budgets effectively during the pandemic.
