Disability Access Funding (DAF)
Information and Application for Parents/Carers
The government is clear that all children should be able to access
their universal and extended entitlement and that no child should have their access restricted, or
denied, because of special educational needs, or a disability. They have, therefore, created a new
targeted fund called the Disability Access Fund (DAF),
T
he purpose of the fund is to support early years settings to make initial reasonable adjustments and to
build the capacity of their setting to support disabled children.
T
he DAF is not based on an hourly rate and will be paid as a one-off payment of £615 per year to the
early years setting for each eligible child.
Eligibility
Pr
oviders in Cambridgeshire who are in receipt of Early Years Funding (EYF) are eligible to receive
DAF where a three- or four-year old child is:
• i
n receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children, and;
•
a
ccessing a place at the setting under their entitlement to free early learning and childcare.
D
AF is available to one provider in a year. If a child is splitting their entitlement across two or more
settings, the parents will need to nominate the setting to whom they wish the payment to be made.
This will usually be the setting where the child is accessing the majority of their universal and extended
entitlement hours.
I
f a child receiving DAF moves from one setting to another within a financial year, the new setting is not
eligible to receive DAF funding for this child within the same financial year. The new setting will need to
wait until the following financial year to be able to apply for funding for the child.
In cases where a child who lives in one authority area attends a setting in a different local authority, the
setting’s local authority is responsible for funding the DAF for the child and eligibility checking.
P
lease note: four-year olds in primary school reception classes are not eligible for DAF funding.
H
ow to Apply
P
arents wishing to access DAF:
• c
omplete the application overleaf;
• pr
ovide a copy of the official letter confirming the child’s entitlement to DLA to the nominated setting.
The setting will then take a copy of this letter and keep it on file, in accordance with data protection
policies. This copy letter should be provided to the Local Authority on request.
P
roviders will then submit the application below via the secure online DAF portal system to the Local
Authority who will authorise and make payment.
