To teach a class of pupils with vision impairment, a teacher must hold a mandatory qualification, in addition to qualified teacher status. The Department is currently reviewing the educational outcomes of the mandatory qualifications for teachers of classes with vision impairment, to ensure they reflect the changing needs of the education system.<\/p>

The Children and Families Act 2014 requires local authorities to work with parents, young people, and schools and colleges to keep the provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) under review and to consider carefully how best to meet the needs of children and young people in their area, including those with vision impairment. To support local authorities, the Department has announced an additional £250 million high needs funding, over this year and the next. This will bring the total allocated for high needs next year to £6.3 billion.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, £3.4 million is being provided for 2018 to 2020 to equip the school workforce to deliver high quality teaching across all types of SEND, including vision impairment.<\/p>

    These figures show that, for all staff groups, the amount spent on agency has fallen since the introduction of new measures to reduce agency spend across the National Health Service in 2015/16. Since the introduction of these measures, agency spend has fallen from a peak of £3.6 billion in 2015/16 to £2.4 billion in 2017/18 \u2013 a £1.2 billion reduction.<\/p>

    <\/p>

    Even so, we recognise that there is still more to be done in this area, and we are committed to reducing trusts\u2019 reliance on expensive agency workers, whilst ensuring they can meet their temporary staffing needs.<\/p>
