To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the role of teaching assistants in supporting children with special needs; and if he will make a statement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the role of teaching assistants in supporting children with special needs; and if he will make a statement.
The Department has not made a formal assessment of the role of Teaching Assistants in supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) to date.
The Department has funded the development of a number of good practice guidance documents through its SEND schools’ workforce contracts, including a guide on the Effective Deployment of Teaching Assistants, available at: https://www.sendgateway.org.uk/whole-school-send/find-wss-resources.html.
The Department’s Rapid Evidence Assessment (2017) (available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/628630/DfE_SEN_Support_REA_Report.pdf) on effective practice for supporting children and young people on SEND support in mainstream schools and colleges also includes an overview of available evidence on a range of specific interventions delivered by teaching assistants.
The Education Endowment Foundation’s guidance report; “Making best use of Teaching Assistants” (available at: https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/tools/guidance-reports/making-best-use-of-teaching-assistants) offers the latest evidence and makes a number of recommendations to help schools make best use of their teaching assistants.
That this House notes that the Government's current formula for allocating financial resources to schools includes a requirement that schools themselves have to fund the first £6,000 of the support for the most disadvantaged Special Educational Needs pupils (SEND), those with Education Health and Care plans (EHCP), and that this provides a disincentive for schools to support EHCP applications or to accept pupils with EHCPs in the first place; further notes that these pupils are those who have the greatest need of support and that schools who develop a good reputation for supporting disadvantaged students face a financial penalty for doing so; and calls on the Government to ensure that in the forthcoming Spending Review the Government fully funds the provision for SEND pupils to ensure that schools and local authorities receive the finances to give SEND pupils the investment in their education that those pupils need and deserve.

The contributions we have heard will make a real difference, but on the hon. Gentleman’s point about somebody being responsible, our constituents often tell us that they always seem to have to fight the system, which never delivers for them just as a matter of public policy. That is not...

The love and care of parents and families with special needs children is humbling; we have all seen that. However, it has come to something—and we have to question ourselves as to how it has come to this—when, as my hon. Friend the Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Justin...

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what representations he has received from Nottinghamshire County Council on additional funding for children and young people with high needs; and if he will make a statement.
The department has received representations from a number of local authorities about funding for children and young people with high needs and the costs of supporting them. On Monday 17 December 2018, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, announced additional funding amounting to £250 million over 2018-19 and 2019-20. This brings the total allocated for high needs this year to £6.1 billion and £6.3 billion in 2019-20. Nottinghamshire will receive just under £64 million in high needs funding in 2018-19, and £66.5 million in 2019-20, including £1.7 million in each year, as a result of Monday’s announcement.
