This funding is known as Funding for Inclusion (FFI).
All mainstream schools receive money for SEND support.
Schools can decide how to spend this money but should use some of their budget to buy resources and make provisions such as changes to the curriculum, special equipment or teaching materials. Details of the schools SEND policies can be found on a schools website.
You can ask your child's class teacher for a copy of their support plan to see how they’re helping them.
If your child has an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP) their support will be written in this document. EHCP’s do not have additional funding as the child should already be receiving the relevant funding that they need.
Other funding streams may be in place as part of health and social care needs within an EHCP known as direct payments and personal budgets. You can contact SENSAP on 0113 3785 256 or by emailing sensap@leeds.gov.uk to discuss these further.
