As part of our enhanced and targeted curriculum offer, we do commission alternative provision (AP) if it is in the best interests of the pupil’s needs, personal development and curriculum.
All our APs undergo annual audits to ensure that they are suitable and safe. This is in addition to continual and logged visits from leadership and our pastoral team, who engage and support our young people at these providers.
As part of our safeguarding arrangements, we ensure that all our providers have:
• A designated safeguarding lead
• A safeguarding policy
• A whistleblowing policy
• A health and safety policy
• An equality policy
• First aiders
• Appropriate risk assessments
• Appropriate outcomes
We monitor attendance to any alternative provider daily and all our pupils come under our attendance policy and safeguarding procedures.
