Meeting the needs of children with disabilities and children with special educational needs
The government is clear that all children should be able to access their free entitlement and that no child should have their access restricted or denied because of special educational needs or a disability.
There are two models for allocating additional funding to 3 & 4 year old children, in Walsall this funding will also include 2 year old children this is to enable them to have the opportunity to access an early years setting as part of the SEND graduated approach, where their educational needs are not able to be met without additionality.
Panel will be held virtually for the near future this means we are no longer accept applications by post
