Inclusion fund

Payment

Applications for Inclusion Fund will be considered at least monthly during term time. If an application is agreed, the setting will receive payment as soon as practicable following the panel.

  • Payments will include all weeks for the half term in which the application is made.
  • Funds can be agreed for a period of up to one-and-a-half to two terms (six months) at a time.
  • The funding would continue to be paid termly, based on number of weeks per term (usually 14 weeks in autumn, 12 weeks in spring and 12 weeks in summer).
  • Where children transfer to a new setting part way through or at the end of a term after Inclusion Fund has been agreed, any funding agreed for future terms will be paid to the new setting. Settings are required to inform the Specialist Teaching Service of any cases where this applies.

Payments will be made directly to settings via BACS (PVI providers) or Journal Transfer (maintained providers).
