The Government is committed to supporting the education of all children and young people with special educational needs or a disability, including those with a hearing impairment.<\/p>

Schools may choose to offer British Sign Language (BSL) in their individual school curriculum or extra-curricular activities, including offering existing accredited BSL qualifications. In addition, the Department is developing draft BSL GCSE subject content, which will be considered against the subject content criteria requirements that apply to all GCSEs.<\/p>

The Government has always worked closely with deaf people and their organisations on delivering improvements across a wide range of services including Access to Work, accessing healthcare information, and supporting the funding of BSL interpreters. There is more to be done and the Government is committed to continuing to work in partnership with deaf people, and the organisations that represent deaf people, to improve their lives.<\/p>

Where schools are not open on Census day, for both the School Workforce Census (November), and the school Census (January) they are excluded. Schools that do not provide either pupil or teacher figures are also excluded.

Local authorities are required to provide sufficient funds to enable schools to meet the cost of additional support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), up to the value of £6,000. This funding comes from the schools block of the Dedicated Schools Grant.<\/p>

When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEND exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This top-up funding, and funding for special schools comes from the local authority\u2019s high needs budget. In 2020-21, the department will provide more than £700 million, an 11% increase in one year, in additional high needs funding, bringing the national high needs funding total to over £7 billion. Every local authority will receive a minimum increase of 8% per head of their population aged 2-18 years old. The department will provide provisional allocations to local authorities in October.<\/p>

Below we have provided the schools and high needs funding allocations for 2015-16 to 2019-20 for Yorkshire and the Humber, York, and England. We have also provided the total number of children with both SEND support and education, health and care plans, although this does not include young people in further education. The department also does not hold specific figures on how much of each local authority\u2019s schools\u2019 budget has been spent on SEND.<\/p>
