Special Educational Needs & Disability (SEND) – High Needs Provision Capital Allocation
See notes
In March 2022, the Department for Education announced the allocation of High Needs Provision Capital Allocation (HNPCA) grants for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 financial years.
As part of the assurance arrangements for this grant, the Department for Education requested that each local authority:
“complete and return a short grant assurance data return at an appropriate interval, to provide details on the projects they intend to fund using HNPCA. LAs should therefore complete the published template on GOV.UK, setting out their intentions for the funding"
The Department for Education requested a completed HNPCA template form from each local authority. They requested an original template form to be returned by 1st October 2022, and an updated form to be returned by 1st October 2023.
1. Please provide me with copies of the completed assurance data return template files that your council sent to the Department for Education under the conditions of the HNPCA grant.
