Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many school children on Education, Health and Care Plans in Derbyshire do not have extra funding allocated to their schools for their plan.

The information requested is not held by the department. Local authorities must secure the provision specified in a child or young person’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. Where this requires the local authority to provide additional ‘top-up’ funding, an agreement should be in place between the local authority and the institution that confirms the amount of top-up funding to be paid. This agreement does not form part of the EHC plan.
