Dear                  ,

ATISN 16195 – Request for information of Post-16 SEN Funding

Information requested

Thank you for your request which I received on 23 March 2022.  You asked for:

• The number post-16 specialist placements (residential) agreed by Welsh Government based on a three year duration.
• The number of requests to extend a young person’s agreed programme of study agreed by Welsh Government. This is beyond the original agreed duration of two years for post-16 specialist placements (residential).
• The number of post-16 specialist placements (residential) agreed by Welsh Government for placements outside of Wales.

You have since clarified via email on 28 March that you wish for this information over the last 10 years.

Our Response

The information you requested is enclosed.

Next steps

If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:

Information Rights Unit, 
Welsh Government,
Cathays Park, 
Cardiff, 
CF10 3NQ 
or Email: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales

Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

Information Commissioner’s Office, 
Wycliffe House, 
Water Lane, 
Wilmslow, 
Cheshire, 
SK9 5AF

However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.

Yours sincerely
