These duties include those children and young people with an EHCP, whose attendance at independent or free schools delivering alternative education provision, would be suitable for their age, ability and aptitude or SEN.\nThe aim of this service is to provide an alternative approach to learning, for up to 60 pupils with an EHCP in all key stages offering tailored programmes which deliver support to meet\nEHCP outcomes.\nThese pupils would ordinarily be educated in a special school, but due to current local and regional sufficiency pressures, particularly around specialist settings for pupils with SEMH\nneeds, we are seeking to source additional specialist placements locally to Kirklees.\nProgrammes of support under this Lot are required to:\nEnable the LA to secure the SEND provision described in the Education, Health and Care\nPlan. This is likely to include aspects to specialist Health(e.g. mental health support, speech\n\u0026\nlanguage support) and Family Support as well as an Education offer.\n\u2022Provide flexible and bespoke provision that is suitable for the young person.\n\u2022Provide a tailored education programme for each pupil, with personal guidance and support\n\u2022Offer the opportunity for externally accredited qualifications in several subject areas.\n\u2022Be regularly reviewed following the statutory guidance in relation to the annual review of\nEHCP.",
