We ensure that every looked-after child has a Personal Education Plan (PEP), and provide additional training and support to schools and foster carers.
We publish a detailed training offer each term. We send this directly to schools, but you can also access this on our training resources page
Funding
We also hold all of the pupil premium funding for looked-after children. The Virtual School Head decides how to use this funding to improve education outcomes.
Pupil Premium funding is accessed via the PEP process. Designated teachers should be aware of how to claim this funding.
You can find out more about Pupil Premium funding on our funding and grants page
Supporting previously looked-after children
We provide advice and guidance for all previously looked-after children who live in the local authority. You can find out more about this on our supporting previously looked-after children page
