 Welcome to the Joint Additional and High Needs Transformation Programme
The number of children who need help and support because they have learning difficulties or they struggle to cope with life at school continues to grow, and the education system is not currently working well for some children with additional needs.
We knew we needed to re-think the way we do things. A consultation in 2018 with children and their families, schools, and other professionals informed our Joint Additional Needs Strategy and High Needs Strategy. To help us fulfil these strategies, the Joint Additional and High Needs Transformation Programme was set up to drive this work forward.
The programme aims to identify a child’s needs at the earliest point so that professionals in education, health and social care can work together sooner to put a plan in place, which will further enhance a child’s whole school-life experience. Find out more about the programme here.
The programme includes a number of projects and this newsletter will keep you up to date as we progress. Scroll down for our latest news.

 Have your say on our proposals to make funding available to schools and early years settings earlier
We want to move to a banded funding system that allows children and young people to access funding without going through the complex legal process of getting an EHCP if this isn't necessary.
