Free Entitlement Summer term Actuals claims

A reminder that Free Entitlement (FE) Summer term actuals claims must be submitted via the Online Provider Portal (OPP) by Friday 24 May 2019.

Please note, the OPP will not be re-opening after this deadline, and we will be unable to process any late claims for children who were in attendance during Headcount week (w/c 6 May).

Please ensure you check and submit your claims correctly by following the updated Actuals guidance available at: www.westsussex.gov.uk/ecsportal and viewing the ‘Provider portal – help and guidance’ document.

For further information please refer to the broadcast sent on 1 May 2019.

Have your say - SEND and Inclusion Strategy 2019-2024

The WSCC draft Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Inclusion Strategy has been published for comment. It has been co-produced during the spring term 2019, with a wide representation of stakeholders including parent carers, young people, education providers and other professionals from across social care, health and education.

Please take a moment to visit www.westsussex.gov.uk/SEND2019 to view and have your say on the strategy.

The consultation ends Friday 14 June 2019.

This draft strategy is a starting point that will be refined and further developed in response to feedback.​
