This includes additional support to mainstream schools, resourced mainstream schools which receive additional funding from the Local Authority to provide extra support and personalised provision for children with a particular type of SEN or disability and special schools which cater for children and young people with more complex needs and who are in receipt of a statement of SEN or EHC. Early help in the early years is key to supporting identified and emerging needs of children. Since the introduction of the 2 year old offer, (current take up in Liverpool is 78% of eligible children – Spring term 2016), it has been possible to facilitate earlier interventions for young children, where the practitioners have identified needs. This is delivered by schools and the Private, Voluntary and Independent Childcare sector (PVI). Liverpool’s School Forum have recognised the need to provide additional support to children outside of a school environment, and supporting the school readiness agenda. A budget has been made available to support PVI settings in meeting the needs of nursery age children (2, 3, and 4) in order to promote parental preference and to ensure effective integrated early years provision is available. This additional resource has been used to develop a consortia model arrangement (arranged around Children’s Centres reach areas) where providers in their respective area meet on a regular basis and discuss individual children’s needs within their setting.
