two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The LA must fulfil its statutory duties towards children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and demonstrate its arrangements for those with an education, health, and care plan (EHCP). These duties include those children and young people with an EHCP, whose attendance at independent or free schools delivering alternative education provision, would be suitable for their age, ability and aptitude or SEN.
The aim of this service is to provide an alternative approach to learning, for up to 60 pupils with an EHCP in all key stages offering tailored programmes which deliver support to meet EHCP outcomes.
These pupils would ordinarily be educated in a special school, but due to current local and regional sufficiency pressures, particularly around specialist settings for pupils with SEMH needs, we are seeking to source additional specialist placements locally to Kirklees.
Programmes of support under this Lot are required to:
• Enable the LA to secure the SEND provision described in the Education, Health and Care Plan. This is likely to include aspects to specialist Health(e.g. mental health support, speech &
language support) and Family Support as well as an Education offer.
• Provide flexible and bespoke provision that is suitable for the young person.
• Provide a tailored education programme for each pupil, with personal guidance and support .
• Offer the opportunity for externally accredited qualifications in several subject areas.
• Be regularly reviewed following the statutory guidance in relation to the annual review of EHCP.
