Making an application
To make a secure electronic application, email EYCC@lincolnshire.gov.uk to request by secure email. This is the preferred method.
If you cannot send it electronically, please contact EYCC@lincolnshire.gov.uk for details on how to submit. Please note that deadlines must be adhered to. It is the responsibility of the setting to ensure that adequate time is allowed.
New applications
Any new application must:
- Have the full support, collaboration and agreement of the child's parents or carers
- Be a recorded outcome of a review meeting for the child. This is to ensure the graduated approach has been applied (if the child is in setting)
- Have the full support of an early year’s specialist teacher (if the child is not yet in a setting but has a planned start date)
- Include a fully completed application form with evidence to demonstrate the:
- child’s needs
- outcomes required
- setting's response
- resulting impact and progress
- Provide evidence that the child's participation and inclusion to universal provision would not be possible without additional support. This must be beyond that which is routinely available through the graduated approach.
