Written question asked by Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hill of Oareford (Conservative) on Monday, 27 September 2010.


Schools: Academies

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether new Academy trusts will be required to fund building adaptations and specialist equipment to support children allocated to the school with low incidence special educational needs.
Answer

The vast majority of children with low incidence special educational needs will have a statement. Local authorities retain responsibility for pupils with statements in academies on the same basis as for statemented pupils in maintained schools. Where a statement states that building adaptations or specialist equipment is required, the local authority has responsibility for funding this.
