Financial Help for SEN, S & L & EAL children - Silkysteps early years forum

sarahcentral · #1 12-01-2008, 08:56 PM

Our setting has a high percentage of EAL & Speech and language children as well as 2 or possibly 3 with SEN ( this is out of 30 children).

We are spending a huge amount of time on paperwork to get them the right help etc and running around in circles getting to the correct professionals etc, all of this as well as trying to run the setting normally.

Is there any way of getting financial help as the amount of extra work that this creates is costing our setting a huge amount of money?

thanks for reading

We had support from our early years at the LEA. The area Senco (or is it Inclusion now) was able to help with this, but in our case it was to support one child, how ever we did get monetary support for completion of transfer documents and on transfer to school in addition. May be worth asking
