SEN Early Years Inclusion

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Childcare Development Coordinator, Clare Thompson, for the attention of all Early Years settings.

Slough Early Years Services manages a small fund (SEN Early Years Inclusion) to support individual children’s emerging SEND needs.

The Inclusion grant is designed to cater for the support needs of children aged 3 & 4 years old and the child receives free early learning where additional care or resources are required at additional cost.

Providers should request support and guidance from the Early Years Area SENCO / school SENCO to determine whether an application for a grant from this fund is an appropriate response to the child’s situation and needs.

Please see the following link to find attached supporting information which provides some examples for your consideration. Please use the application form and guidance documents to submit your requests.
