Special Educational Needs: Finance
(asked on 18th April 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, for what reasons the Government decided to reduce the allocation of top-up funding for provision for children with special needs.
This question was answered on 26th April 2016
We have not reduced the allocation of top-up funding for children with special educational needs (SEN). We announced in December that we would provide an additional £92.5 million nationally for high needs in 2016-17. Bristol City Council’s share of this additional funding is £750,000.
It is for local authorities to determine how best to use their high needs allocation, after consultation with local providers.
