Referrals and admissions

The admissions process:

• Local Authorities will forward the Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan and seek our view as to whether we are able to meet the young person’s educational needs as described in the plan.
• The College will inform the referring Local Authority of the outcome of their evaluation. Only when authorised to do so will the College proceed to interview the young person which will always include the main carer.
• Once the College indicates they feel they are able to meet the needs as described in the EHC plan, plus the parents or carers understand and accept the philosophy of the College and crucially the young person indicates they want to be part of the College then a place will be offered.
• Once a place is offered, the local Authority will be informed and an admission date will be set.
