Answer
Registration and application for SEN children with special dietary needs is available on the EA website at https://www.eani.org.uk/financial-help/free-school-meals-uniform-grants/free-school-meals-uniform-grant-eligibility
In addition on 30 May 2022, the EA issued a letter to all school Principals setting out the entitlement under special diets.
