The department is providing over £42 million in the 2021-22 financial year to continue funding projects to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This investment enables specialist organisations around the country to continue to provide practical support to schools and colleges, support families, ensure that they have a voice in the development of SEND services and help strengthen local area performance.<\/p>
This includes £27.3 million to the Family Fund to support over 60,000 low-income families with children and young people with disabilities or serious illnesses; £2 million funding to the Whole School SEND consortium through our contract with the National Association for Special Educational Needs, to equip the school workforce to deliver high quality teaching to children and young with SEND; and £600,000 funding to the Autism Education Trust to provide a hub of guidance and resources to support families, teachers and other professionals.<\/p>
In addition, since June 2020, we have announced more than £3 billion to support education recovery, which includes support for children with SEND, schools,16-19 providers and early years settings to help pupils make up education lost as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Our recovery programmes have the flexibility to support those pupils most in need, including children and young people with SEND, with additional funding provided for those interventions that the evidence tells us will have a significant impact.<\/p>"}

We are recognised across the world for our higher education system and we encourage the sector to collaborate with international partners. However, to be open, we must also be secure, and we will not accept collaborations which compromise our national security.<\/p>
<\/p>
On the 29 April 2021, the National Security and Investment (NSI) Act was passed. The NSI Act enables the UK Government to protect all sectors, including research and Higher Education Institutions from hostile foreign interference through mandating notification and requiring approval of investments and other acquisitions in key areas. It also extends the UK Government\u2019s screening powers to include acquisitions of control over assets such as intellectual and tangible property. Universities and other research organisations should have regard to the NSI Act when collaborating with other parties to acquire, sell or develop entities and assets.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, I commissioned Universities UK to produce comprehensive security guidelines to advise universities on engaging in secure international collaborations published in October 2020, \u2018Managing risks in internationalisation: security-related issues\u2019. Among the recommendations in the guidelines were that due diligence be conducted on all international partnerships.<\/p>"}

Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, the department has emphasised the importance of ventilation and provided guidance to nurseries, schools and colleges on ventilation requirements. It is important to ensure that nurseries, schools and colleges are well ventilated and that a comfortable teaching environment is maintained.<\/p>
<\/p>
The department recognises that schools may be facing pressures this winter, particularly where energy prices have increased. However,\u202fthese cost increases should be seen in the wider context of funding for schools: at the 2019 Spending Round, the government committed to significant additional investment in schools of £2.6 billion in the 2020-21 financial year, £4.8 billion in 2021-22 and £7.1 billion in 2022-23, compared to 2019-20. This year, mainstream school funding is increasing by 3.5% overall, and all schools are receiving at least a 2% increase to pupil-led per pupil funding.<\/p>
<\/p>
Durham is receiving an extra £10.5 million for schools this year, an increase of 3.3% per pupil. This takes total funding for 2021-22 in Durham to over £344.5 million, including additional funding to meet increased costs of teachers\u2019 pay and pensions.<\/p>
<\/p>
School leaders have the flexibility to make their own decisions on how to prioritise their spending to invest in a range of resources that will best support their staff and pupils. The department does not have detailed information on how cost pressures will vary for individual schools, as these will depend on individual circumstances and local decision making.<\/p>
<\/p>
Schools continue to be able to access existing support for financial issues, including a wide range of school resource management tools, and, in serious circumstances, additional funding or advances from local authorities for maintained schools, or the Education and Skills Funding Agency for academy trusts.<\/p>
<\/p>
School funding remains one of the department\u2019s key priorities and any decisions on future funding will be made as part of this year\u2019s Spending Review. We expect the outcome of the 2021 Spending Review to be announced on 27 October.<\/p>"}
