SEND Support Service
There are three different funding streams for personal budgets and direct payments for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
If a child or young person is assessed to require specific provision for their Education, this will be detailed in an EHCP. The Educational element is funded through Achieving for Children SEND Team on behalf of the Local Authority (Royal Borough of Kingston and London Borough of Richmond).
If a child or young person is assessed to require specific provision for health care, this will be detailed in a Continuing Healthcare Assessment. The Health care element is funded through the South West London Clinical Commissioning Group on behalf of the National Health Service.
KCIL SEND Support Service can support you will each of these elements in line with both national and local guidance for personal budgets as well as evidence-based case studies of good practice from professional experience and national charities.
Each personal budget request must be explored on its individual merit and our SEND Support Service will provide impartial advice and support to you and the relevant funding providers.
