Context
The questioner visited Muschamp Primary School in Carshalton and Wallington, observing the Junior Adventures Group UK providing crucial support to children, particularly those with special educational needs.
How will the frameworks ensure that £289 million effectively supports families, specifically those with requirements for special educational needs and disabilities?
My hon. Friend makes an important point. We have set out clear expectations that all wraparound provision should be inclusive and accessible. We have given local authorities flexibility in how to spend their funding, but we expect them to distribute it in a way that ensures equal access to provision for parents of children with special educational needs.
