CCS061 Framework for Alternative Education Provision in Derbyshire

Description

Derbyshire County Council is seeking to establish a framework of Alternative Provision for Children and Young People (CYP) in Derbyshire who are excluded, at risk of being excluded, disengaged or require alternative educational arrangements to meet their needs. The Framework will deliver education provision that supports CYPs to prepare them for the next stages of education, learning or adult life (including where relevant improving behaviour and attendance prior to re-integration into school) in line with the four approaches set out below: (a) Preventative support in mainstream schools to help at risk CYPs to remain in mainstream education. (b) Time-limited short-term placements to address and meet pupil’s needs with the expectation to remain in or return to mainstream schools. (c) Transitional placements for CYPs who need support prior to moving on to next stages of learning, education, training, or entry into the workforce and/or the next stages of their lives. (d) Placements for Children who have been permanently excluded (where applicable). The services to be provided through the Framework have been split into 5 Lots: • Lot A: Preventative & Early Intervention • Lot B: Targeted Short-Term Provision • Lot C: Specialist Long-Term Provision • Lot D: Primary AP & Transition Support • Lot E: Vocational & Progression Pathways Keywords: Children, Young People, Alternative, Education, Provision
