Mainstream schools refer directly to the NWSSSS for preventative work and emergency planned places are agreed with schools, parents and the LA.
The Operational Guidance document is used to guide admissions.
School Referral Information
Referrals for the Early Intervention Programme are made via secure email to the Headteacher.
Referrals to other intervention programmes are discussed with the school, Headteacher, Local Authority, Behaviour and Attendance Partnerships and In Year Fair Access Panels (IYFAPs) in each borough.
When a child is permanently excluded from a mainstream school, the Local Authority contact us and we will contact you to arrange an interview with you and your child. We recognise that permanent exclusion is a traumatic event for your child and you as parents. We want to reassure that we will work with you and your child to ensure that their education continues and with a fresh start further opportunities beyond us will be sought and supported.
