I’ve been talking to parents who are worried after the July Provision portal was only open for one week.
Many schools simply didn’t have enough time to submit applications, and parents are now concerned their children could miss out on important supports this summer.
I’m urging the Department of Education to reopen the portal and give schools and families more time to apply.
The July Provision scheme is hugely important for children with additional needs and their families, and we need to make sure every child who needs that support can access it.
If you’ve been affected, get in touch. I’ll keep pushing for this to be resolved.
