The LA has a statutory responsibility under the Children and
Families Act 2014 to keep its special educational provision under
review, to ensure sufficiency in placements to meet the needs of
children and young people with special educational needs and/or
disabilities (SEND), working with parents/carers, young people and
providers.
In 2016/2017 the DfE awarded a one off grant to all local
authorities to review their provision for children and young people
with SEND aged between 0-25 years and to develop and publish
strategic plans that set out how such provision should be made. In
parallel the DfE initially committed £215 million as a
Special Provision Capital Fund (SPCF) to further develop capacity
and improve facilities in provision for children and young people
with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). North Yorkshire was
originally allocated a total of £500,000 over three years
from 2018/19 to 2020/21, with a further £116 279 allocated in
2018, making a total of £616 279. £163K was allocated
within year 1 leaving £453K to be allocated in years 2 and
3.
