Early Years Inclusion Fund. The Early Years Inclusion Grant funding is the funding for specific staffing for children with high level needs and has to be approved by the SEND Panel. It is £14 per hour for up to 15 hours a week for up to 22 weeks (total of £4620), and is generally a precursor to applying for Statutory Assessment. This funding is currently available for any children displaying high level needs under 5 years old. Providers should use Appendix D if they feel they have children that meet this criterion.
