Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much money has been paid as part of the disability access fund to each local authority in each month since April 2017.
The Disability Access Fund (DAF) is allocated and paid to local authorities as part of the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG). The provisional DAF allocations to each local authority for financial year 2017 to 2018 are available in the ‘DSG allocations: 2017 to 2018’ table on GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dedicated-schools-grant-dsg-2017-to-2018. The Education and Skills Funding Agency pays DSG to local authorities in 25 instalments during the financial year. The DSG payment dates for financial year 2017 to 2018 are in Annex A of the ‘DSG: conditions of grant 2017 to 2018’ GOV.UK at the link above.
