News & Events

Reporting and New NOIDs

Using the SharePoint form and reporting illnesses

As of the 6^th April the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) updated their list of notifiable diseases. From the 6^th of April chicken pox will become a notifiable disease therefore it is important that settings continue to report illnesses on the SharePoint form. You can more information about the change to the notifiable diseases here : Changes to health protection notification regulations (NOIDs) – UK Health Security Agency

It is important that you continue to track and report illness on the SharePoint. This is so we can support settings to stay open and prevent spread.

If you are having difficulty accessing your setting specific form, please email the health protection inbox at healthprotection@eastriding.gov.uk.

Information and Consultations

National Smile month

Between 12 May and 12 June 2025, the Oral Health Foundation will raise awareness of important oral health issues through National Smile Month.

Join the nation's biggest oral health campaign and help bring a smile to millions of people.

This year the theme for National Smile Month is Feed Your Smile, and there are lots of great downloadable resources you can share in your school here:

National Smile Month | Home | Oral Health Foundation

There are plenty of ways to become involved, from taking part in a Brushathon, encouraging children and residents to create some wonderful arts and crafts around how to achieve and maintain good oral health, to arranging a routine dental check up with your dentist.

Below are some handy links to the Oral Health Foundation webpages, who can offer you lots of ideas, promotional items, and free downloadable resources to help you organise an event.   

The East Riding of Yorkshire Oral Health team are planning on visiting local Children Centres, public events, and residential homes. To share good practice and basic oral hygiene tips with residents, carers, families, and professionals along the way.

We hope you can join us in any of the activities mentioned above, or devising one of your own. It would be great to hear about any events you are able to organise.

If you need any further inspiration, please don’t hesitate to contact the East Riding of Yorkshire Oral Health team

Additional Inclusion Support (AIS) Funding – For PVI Early Years Settings

Helping You Support Children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Every local authority is required to provide a SEN Inclusion Fund to help early years providers support children with special educational needs (SEN). In East Riding, this is known as Additional Inclusion Support (AIS) Funding.

The Local Authority considers best practice to reflect that, before applying for Additional Inclusion Support (AIS) funding, a child's emerging needs will have been addressed through the Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision (OAIP). The East Riding of Yorkshire Council offers training at a universal level to support the implementation of OAIP in various settings. Training programs such as Dingley’s Promise Inclusive Training and the Portage Workshops are accessible to all settings and are considered integral to supporting a child’s emerging needs at a universal level.

When and How to Apply

AIS funding applications are considered once per term, with approved funding starting from the beginning of the next term.

Submissions are first reviewed by the Area SENCo team and then by the Early Years Support Team. To keep the process smooth and fair, all applications must be submitted by the deadlines below:

• Summer Deadline: Wednesday 4 June 2025 For Autumn Term 2025 funding
• Autumn Deadline: Wednesday 5 November 2025 For Spring Term 2026 funding

🔗 Application forms and full guidance are available on the East Riding Local Offer website: https://east-riding-self.achieveservice.com/service/Additional_Inclusion_Support_Request.   

The request for AIS must be accompanied by a current support plan, which must include the most recent family meeting notes and actions, a completed developmental overview, as well as the current long-term and SMART targets to support the AIS request itself.

Need Support?

Before submitting your request, please speak with your Area SENCo. They can offer valuable guidance and help with the application process or any inclusion/SEND concerns.

⚠️ Late applications will not be considered until the following term – please ensure your request is submitted by the relevant deadline
