This policy sets out the Local Authority’s duties in relation to non-section 41 schools.

This policy has been written outlining the Local Authorities duty in securing educational provision for children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). It is specifically in relation to the use of non-section 41 schools.

While these duties apply regardless of whether a policy is in place, adopting this policy provides clarity and supports consistent communication with families through a locally published statement of practice.
