- Discontinued, lsat published 2015/16. This is the total number of children and young people (aged 0-25) with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan placed in a 'alternative provision academies (including free schools)'. This is expressed as a percentage of total children and young people for whom the authority maintains a statement of SEN, or EHC plan.
Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans were introduced from September 2014 as part of a range of SEND reforms. A pupil has a statement of SEN or an EHC plan when a local authority issues one following a formal assessment. This document sets out the child's needs and the extra help they should receive.
Alternative provision academies are previously pupil referral units which converted to an Academy. Academies are state-funded independent schools that are accountable to the Secretary of State for the management of the school through a legally-binding Funding Agreement. Convertor academies, i.e. previously Maintained Primary and Secondary schools which converted to an academy, are included in this figure as are pupils who attend resourced provision or SEN Units within academies. Free Schools are local schools funded by the Government, but have greater freedoms than local authority run schools. They are run by teachers and have freedom over things like the length of the school day, the curriculum, and how they spend their money.
National and regional totals and total SEN across Local Authorities have been rounded to the nearest 5. There may be discrepancies between totals and the sum of constituent parts. Where there were one or two children or young people in an area these have been supressed.
