Disability Access Fund (DAF)

Disability Access Fund

Additional funding is available for providers to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

Children aged 3 and 4 years old, who are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and claiming an Early Education Funded place could be eligible to apply for the Disability Access Fund (DAF).

This could mean childcare providers could get access to £858.92 per calendar year for each eligible child that could aid in making reasonable adjustments at the setting and improve accessibility.

Contact Us if you would like to find out more information or have any questions.
