Inclusion fund
Overview
The Inclusion Fund is available to support eligible children with special educational needs (SEN) who are taking their entitlement to funded early education or childcare.
The fund (previously known in Lancashire as additional inclusion support or AIS) provides additional top up funding to private, voluntary, independent and maintained early years group settings and childminders
Local authorities are required to have SEN inclusion funds under the early years national funding formula (external link to GOV.UK).
The following pages provide guidance for all early years providers in Lancashire delivering funded early education.
