Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children with both special educational needs and a disability have (a) received a 30 hours free childcare eligibility and (b) had that eligibility code validated.

I am sorry, but the Department for Education does not currently hold this information.

On 12 October 2017 we published an ad-hoc statistical release on the number of 30 hours’ codes generated and validated for the autumn term. The statistical first release can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/30-hours-free-childcare-eligibility-codes-issued-and-validated.
