Education and training services

Tender description

The successful tenderer will be delivering a service based on the current model which targets children in care and care leavers. The successful tenderer will be delivering a service based on the current model which targets children in care and care leavers: — at risk of exclusion, including permanent exclusion, — at risk of underachievement associated with the circumstances that brought them into care [attachment and trauma issues], — whose care or education placements have changed and therefore need support with transition, — needing a specialist education package to keep them in city [reduction in out of city budget], — with immediate needs e.g. emergency care placement or change of care placement. The service will provide: — support and challenge to all agencies and schools to ensure children in care get the best from existing services, — direct support to children in care placed in or out of Stoke-on-Trent — development of specialist education packages so children in care can stay in Stoke-on-Trent, — flexibility to respond to immediate needs, with the option to extend the contract to meet such needs on a time limited and case by case basis.
