Funding for SEND and those who need AP: Call for evidence

Overview

A call for evidence on the funding arrangements for young people with SEND and those who need alternative provision.

Why your views matter

We are aware of concerns about the funding allocated for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in England, and are looking carefully at how much overall funding will be needed in future years. This call for evidence is an invitation to consider other aspects of the funding arrangements that:

• could be changed to help local authorities, schools, colleges and other providers in their support for young people with SEND, those requiring alternative provision (AP) and those at risk of exclusion from school, and
• may not be helping us get the most value from the resources available.

We have also asked the Council for Disabled Children to organise a small number of workshops across the country, so that we can discuss the themes in this call for evidence in greater detail. If you would like to attend one of these events, please register your interest at senfinancialevents@ncb.org.uk, giving your name, role, organisation and email address. They will send you information about the events as soon as it is available.

Please read the document "Call for evidence on SEND & AP funding" before completing the online questionnaire.
