star this property answer text <p>The department recognises the challenges faced by the early years sector in meeting the needs of children with special education needs and disabilities (SEND). The department has already committed to working with stakeholders across the sector to understand whether changes may be required to the special educational needs inclusion fund (SENIF), and other associated elements of the wider current early years funding system, as part of the SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan. ​​</p><p>The department is conducting a review of SENIF funding arrangements, as confirmed in the government’s response to the consultation on expanding the early education entitlements on 20 September 2023. This is so that the department can better support parents, providers and local authorities, as the expanded entitlements are rolled out.</p><p>​At the completion of this review, the department will consider what information is most appropriate and helpful for the sector in their delivery of SENIFs. The department will look to draw examples of best practice together with a view to sector-wide dissemination.</p><p>The department has increased the rate of disability access funding in 2024/25 to £910 per eligible child per year, having increased in September 2023 from £828 to an annual equivalent of £881 per year per eligible child. The department is also increasing high needs funding by £440 million in 2024/25, compared to the high needs funding allocations for 2023/24. The total high needs budget for 2024/25 will be £10.5 billion.</p><p>The Early Years National Funding Formula also contains an additional needs element to take account of the number of 3 and 4 year old children with additional needs in an area.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Schools must record absences as authorised where pupils cannot attend school due to illness, regardless of whether the illness is physical or mental health related. The government recognises the importance of understanding what is driving absence to illness. However, it would be unreasonable to expect teachers, at the point of taking the register, to determine and provide additional detail on each instance of illness for pupils as this would be a considerable additional burden on the workforce.</p><p>The government acknowledges that some young people are facing difficulties with their mental health and wellbeing and providing them with support remains a priority. The government is putting in record levels of investment, including an additional £2.3 billion of funding a year by March 2024 for all NHS mental health services. This will help an extra 345,000 children and young people receive NHS-funded mental health support, compared to 2018. The department expects schools to ensure data is regularly monitored for pupils with long term illnesses and/or Special Educational Needs or Disabilities, including at board and governing body meetings and in targeting support meetings with the local authority so that additional support from other partners is accessed where necessary.</p><p> </p>
