Local Authority vs Private
Funding: What Are Your
Options?
First Bridge Education is excited to announce our FREE webinar: “Local Authority vs Private Funding: What Are Your Options?“.
When your child needs specialist support, understanding how to fund that provision can feel like navigating a maze.
This webinar is designed to give parents and carers a clear overview of the two main funding routes for accessing specialist education: Local Authority funding and private/self-funded placement.
We will walk you through:
- What Local Authority (LA) funding covers and how to apply for it
- What private funding involves, including fees, flexibility, and timelines
- The pros and cons of each option
- What to consider when deciding which route is right for your child and your family’s circumstances
- How First Bridge works with both funding streams
Whether you are applying for an EHCP, exploring alternatives, or simply want to understand your choices, this session will give you the tools to make informed, confident decisions.
Join us to gain clarity, weigh up your options, and take the next step with confidence.
Presented by our School Principal and Clinical Director, Mikaela Green, MSc., BCBA, this webinar is perfect for:
- Early Years Practitioners & Educators
- SENCOs & Inclusion Leads
- Childcare Providers
- Health Visitors & Allied Health Professionals
- Parents and Carers interested in child development
- Local Authority and SEND professionals
Join us online on Thursday, January 15th at 6 pm!
