Context
Cuts to council funding in Wandsworth have led to delays in diagnosis and support for children with special educational needs.
In Wandsworth, children are waiting too long for a diagnosis and an education, health and care plan due to cuts. Many do not receive the outlined support, as confirmed by a recent Ofsted report. Will the Secretary of State ensure significant additional funding in the Budget?
The London Borough of Wandsworth will receive £47.8 million in high-needs funding next year, a 8.6% increase from the previous year. The Government supports and challenges local areas to improve where performance is not sufficient.
