answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2018 answer text <p>Our Early Years National Funding Formula contains an additional needs element that takes account of children with special educational needs (SEN). On top of this, we have introduced the Disability Access Fund which provides £615 a year to help children access the free entitlements for three and four year olds. We have commissioned new research from Frontier Economics to provide further data on the cost of providing early education and care, which will take into account the cost of providing childcare for children with special education needs and disabilities.</p><p>For children with more complex needs, local authorities can draw on their high needs funding, which is at a record high of £6 billion across England, up from £5 billion in 2013.</p><p>Since April 2017, the department has required local authorities to establish SEN inclusion funds to help providers to address the needs of individual children in receipt of the early years entitlements with SEN.</p><p>The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) Code of Practice requires providers to have arrangements in place to support children with SEN or disabilities. These arrangements should include a clear approach to identifying and responding to SEN. In addition, the Equality Act 2010 sets out the legal obligations for local authorities to plan in advance what disabled children and young people might require and what adjustments might need to be made to prevent that disadvantage. As such, we do not specify an exact number of places for children with special educational needs. According to January 2018 early years census data, there were approximately 370 children with SEND in Wandsworth benefitting from funded early education places.</p><p>Information relating to allocations to local authorities of both high needs and early years funding is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2018-to-2019</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 23/07/2018 16:56:46 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

There are 57 Technical Awards currently approved for inclusion in the 2020 performance tables and for teaching from September 2018. To be included in performance tables, qualifications must meet strict requirements regarding their size, the use of external assessment and synoptic assessment, and their grading structure.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 23/07/2018 14:40:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
