answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2017 answer text <p>High needs funding is provided to local authorities through the high needs block of the Dedicated Schools Grant, and supports provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities up to the age of 25, including provision named in education, health and care (EHC) plans.</p><p>In deciding on the appropriate placement for a child or young person, local authorities have a duty to consider the efficient use of local authority resources, as well as whether the placement can meet the young person’s needs. If it is deemed necessary to secure provision outside of the UK for a child or young person with an EHC plan, the local authority may use its high needs budget to fund the special educational provision. There is no responsibility for local authorities to provide funding for provision outside of the UK if the child or young person’s needs do not require an EHC plan.</p><p>We are not aware of any current cases where local authorities are supporting pupils with special educational needs outside of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 11/10/2017 16:29:12 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2017 answer text <p>The funding for newly-assessed high needs pupils is decided by each local authority. We do not prescribe in detail how much local authorities should allocate to their schools for their pupils with SEN, or how much schools should spend in making provision for them. Kent County Council responded to our recent consultation on the national funding formula, but this concerned how high needs funding is distributed between local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 07/09/2017 16:06:31 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
