Description

Who is this funding for? 

Most children can have any additional needs met through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, high quality early years practice and through additional intervention and differentiation organised by the setting.

Settings can get advice and support for children who need extra help from specialist teams including the Area SENCos and Speech and Language Therapy Service. 

The Early Years Inclusion Funding is a budget to provide support for children aged 3 or 4 years old who have low level or emerging special educational needs or disability (SEND) and because of these require more support.

What to do if you have a complaint

How you feel about having used a service is important. Services often ask for your feedback to help them understand what they are already doing well and how they can further improve their service. 

If you have feedback about this service you can talk to the person who worked with you or, if you feel more comfortable, a service manager. They will try to help sort out any problems.

If you are still not happy with the service you can raise your concerns formally. This means someone who is not part of the service will look at your feedback or concern and see if anything can or needs to be done to help make things better.

If you need to make a formal complaint you can use the London Borough of Hackney complaints procedure.
