This funding is available for young Derbyshire residents in Education, aged 16 to 19 that do not have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Post-16 providers can apply for additional funding from the ‘High Needs Block’ to enable them to support the inclusion needs of young people. This applies when SEND place funding, sometimes referred to as Element 2 (£6,000), has been utilised.
Derbyshire County Council has introduced a pilot process for the 2025/26 academic year to enable applications for this funding.
Full guidance to complete the referral form can be found in the 'Related Documents' section of this page.
To apply, please complete the Derbyshire County Council - Inclusion Panel for Post-16 Referral Form.
