Early Years Inclusion Funding (EYIF)
The EYIF for access will:
- Provide support to children accessing their Early Years entitlements from 9 months to 4 years (additional government funding and / or universal), who:
- have low level and / or emerging special educational needs or disabilities; and
- are falling below the expected stages of development of children of the same chronological age and their needs cannot be met with reasonable adjustments alone;
- Provide time limited support to children whose low level or emerging special educational needs means they require additional support to make a successful transition into their funded early years provision.
- The EYIF is part of the Graduated Approach and monitored alongside support being given from the Early Years Partnership key workers.
