star this property answer text <p>The Requirements for School Food Regulations (2014), which came into force in January 2015, regulates the food and drink provided at both lunchtime and at other times of the school day. Beyond this, we believe that headteachers, school governors and caterers are best placed to make decisions about their school food policies, taking into account local circumstances and the needs of their pupils. In doing so, we expect schools to make reasonable adjustments for pupils with particular requirements, for example to reflect dietary and cultural needs. School food policies work best when schools discuss them with parents and pupils, so that parents have the opportunity to raise pupils’ particular dietary needs.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally. Children with special educational needs are funded through the schools and high needs national funding formulae, which have been separate since 2013. Local authorities and schools have statutory duties under the Children and Families Act (2014) to support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. However, we do not prescribe in detail how local authorities should allocate their high needs funding, or how schools should use their funding.</p><p>The total funding amounts for schools, and for high needs, since 2013 are as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Schools Funding Amount (billion)</p></td><td><p>High Needs funding Amount (billion)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>£30.4</p></td><td><p>£5.0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£30.7</p></td><td><p>£5.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>£32.2</p></td><td><p>£5.2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£32.7</p></td><td><p>£5.3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£33.1</p></td><td><p>£5.8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£33.7</p></td><td><p>£6.1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20</p></td><td><p>£34.5</p></td><td><p>£6.3</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>Local authorities are required to secure sufficient childcare in their area, so far as is practicable, for working parents, or parents who are studying or training for employment, for children aged 0-14 (or up to 18 for disabled children).</p><p>Since 2011, all local authorities have a duty to provide a range of short breaks services for disabled children and their families. Responsibility for funding short breaks rests with local authorities. They are best placed and have the freedom to decide how to deliver services, target their resources and priorities, and be flexible to meet the local needs of disabled children and young people.</p><p>Tax-Free Childcare was introduced in 2017 to support families with the costs of childcare, for which 1.6 million families are eligible. For every £8 parents pay into an online account, the government pays £2 – up to a maximum contribution of £2,000 per child each year, for children aged up to 12. Parents of disabled children receive extra support (worth up to £4,000 per child, for each year and until their child is 17) which can be used to pay for childcare provision both during term time and in school holidays.</p><p> </p>
