Common use of Levels of Support Clause in Contracts

Levels of Support. Victory Park Alternative Provision aims to support pupils with high quality full time education suitable to their needs and abilities either to help them sustain their mainstream place successfully or to reintegrate to school as quickly as possible. For pupils who are reintegrating to a school, whether their home school or to a fresh start placement, the tailored reintegration plan should set out the levels of support required between the service and the school. Monitoring and a period of effective support from Victory Park Outreach staff should take place following the pupil’s return to school to ensure the pupil is settled and fully accessing the curriculum. An example monitoring period could be 6 to 12 weeks. The service should address the needs of individual pupils to ensure the right level of support and pupils should have a personalised Individual Support Plan that sets out ambitious outcomes and the re-integration support they need from education, health and care as appropriate. The service should offer specialist teaching and other support from staff with expertise in supporting children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties. Flexibility should also enable the service to maximise resources as efficiently as possible. The number of pupils requiring the support of the service will vary from time to time. This agreement acknowledges the need for the service to be flexible in order to meet demands and therefore may need to go over or under the published PAN. Priorities may shift as a result of changing demands.
