Ensuring sufficient places
There is a clear need to continue to create tailored solutions to meet the growing demand through expansion of existing facilities as well as the development of new types of provision.
Ensuring that there are sufficient places of the right type, in the right place, and at the right time, for children and young people with SEND and those requiring alternative provision is fundamental to being able to carry out our commitments within Lincolnshire’s inclusion strategy.
By approaching our SEND and AP sufficiency requirements through a tiered approach, we aim to make significant improvements across the education sector, with betterment in mainstream, specialist and alternative provision.
Improvements will be multi-faceted, targeting teaching and learning, increased sufficiency in the education estate and implementation of a range of provisions which will meet the wide range of complexity and need types.
This tiered approach provides a continuum of educational provision for children and young people who require an enhanced educational offer due to their specific individual needs.
