Local councils make Disability Access Fund payments and are required to pay £615 to early years settings for each child that is:

  • taking-up the three- and four-year old free entitlement (not in reception); and
  • receiving Disability Living Allowance.

The early years and schools censuses in January 2018 will provide us with data about the take-up of the Disability Access Fund.
