Recommendation 17
17
Paragraph: 117
Funding for Special Educational Needs provision is insufficient to meet demand from EHC plans.
Conclusion
The rise in numbers of EHC plans following the Children and Families Act 2014 has significantly increased demand for more costly forms of SEND provision and home to school transport. The funding available to local authorities, through the Dedicated Schools Grant or otherwise, is far from sufficient to meet this demand.
