  • Your mental health and well-being after giving birth

    After having a baby, the first few weeks and months can bring many emotions—joy, love, pride, but also worry, sadness, and frustration. Some new parents struggle to express negative emotions after giving birth as they feel pressured to appear happy.

If you're finding things challenging, it's important to understand that having these feelings is not your fault. Try to share any concerns with your… mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. If you are worried about the way you are feeling, please talk to your midwife, health visitor or GP. Further help and support For more advice and tips on coping with emotional changes…

  • Funding for special educational needs in mainstream schools

    Funding for special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools Mainstream schools get funding as part of their budget to support children with SEND. This is known as a school’s “notional SEN budget”. The amount of SEN funding for each school is calculated using a national formula. It is based on indicators such as economic deprivation and previous attainment. It is not based on individual assessments of the needs of pupils in the school. Schools should use this funding to put support in place for pupils who need it. For most children, this funding should be enough to meet their needs. The government has said schools should provide the first £6,000 for a child each year from their notional SEN budget. A very small number of children will need more than this amount of individual support. 'Top-up' or 'high needs' funding Schools can apply for 'top-up' or 'high needs' funding…
