Asked by:
Kate Green (Labour - Stretford and Urmston)
Question
to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much (a) capital and (b) other funding he has allocated to the planned national SEND and alternative provision implementation strategy.
Answered by Kelly Tolhurst
The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) Green Paper set out investments in the SEND and AP system, including:
- £2.6 billion between 2022 and 2025 to support local authorities to deliver new places and improve existing provision for children and young people with SEND or who require AP.
- £70 million in a SEND and AP change programme to test and refine key proposals and support local SEND systems across the country to manage local improvement.
- An additional £300 million through the Safety Valve intervention programme, on top of the department’s existing annual budget for the programme, enabling us to work with more local authorities.
- £85 million over three years from 2022/23, through the delivering better value in SEND programme, to support local authorities to improve delivery of SEND services for children and young people while ensuring services are sustainable.
- An increase in high revenue needs funding of £1 billion (13%) in 2022/23 compared to last year, to a total of £9.1 billion.
