answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not give funds directly to local authority maintained schools. Funds for extra assistance with students with special educational needs (SEN) come from schools' budgets and, if the extra cost is more than £6,000 per year for an individual student, from local authorities in the form of top-up funding for the school. Local authorities can also give extra funding to schools with a disproportionate number of pupils with SEN. Special educational needs coordinators should therefore seek any additional funds required from the relevant local authority.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 23/06/2014 15:33:00 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government believes that professional development for teachers is important to help support and enable teachers to improve their practice, and an assessment of training and development needs must be included in teachers' written appraisal reports. Headteachers and teachers are best placed to make decisions about what professional development they require in order to meet the needs of their pupils.</p><p>To support this, on the 16 June 2014 the Department for Education issued new non-statutory guidance for schools and teachers on pupil's mental health and behaviour. This guidance gives information, guidance and practical tools on how to build resilience and support good mental health. It also helps school staff identify those pupils who may have emerging problems and provides guidance on appropriate routes of support.</p><p>We put before Parliament a new 0-25 SEN and Disability Code of Practice. This makes it clear that schools should look to identify any underlying mental health needs that pupils have. The Code emphasises the importance of staff development and provides a number of signposts to specific support. This includes further support for teachers and adults working with children and young people, which is available through MindEd <a href="http://www.minded.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.minded.org.uk</a>, a website funded by the Department of Health that helps adults identify and support children and young people's mental health issues.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 23/06/2014 15:35:13 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
