Hampshire County Council approve new additional places SEND across Hampshire while seeing a net increase in adult social care

  • Summary

  • Over 17,700 pupils across Hampshire have an educational, health and care plan. 40% of those require specialist school places.

    Approval has been granted to create 78 additional special educational needs and disabilities places across six schools, starting in September.

    Every month Hampshire County Council sees a net increase of 30 people living in care homes who have become reliant upon the council to pay their costs.

    Even with a basic level of care the extra 360 people per year adds a further £18.7 million of cost to their annual budget. This is set to rise as costs go up in care homes.

    Cllr Nick Adams King, Leader of Hampshire County Council explains more.
