July 2009 - Post
16 funding for pupils with medical needs
This
issue was raised
at the recent conference and it seems there is a
real lack of clarity about who is responsible and where we can access
funding for pupils who don’t suddenly stop being ill, just because they
reach their 16th birthday!
The Learning
Skills Council, in it’s publication ‘LSC Funding Guidance
2008/2009: School Sixth Form Guidance 2008/09 and 2009/10’ has a
section on Medically Ill Pupils and eligibility (page 26,27) which is a
really useful guideline.
You can
download it at:

Looking at
the updates for this year, the only part which refers to
pupils with SEN is to say that they are reviewing the provision in
2009/10 so we can assume that the guidance still stands.
It took at
lot of time for us to track down who in the county council
had been given the pot on money to fund these pupils and many have
since benefited. Due to a change in personnel, they have now
asked our team to administer this fund so although we cannot teach or
support we can at least offer school some real support to provide
specialist teachers.
Do contact
your LSC person and see what light they can shed on the
situation.
Please let
me know how you get on, and we can update the website and
help other members and other young people in the same situation.
