Kent County Council (KCC) and Medway Council, together with Virtual School Kent (VSK), are seeking suppliers to establish a purchasing framework for short-term external tuition and mentoring for children and young people with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including those with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP), where in-house capacity is reached. The framework is being developed within the statutory duties under the Education Act 1996 and related legislation (Children and Families Act 2014, SEN Code of Practice 2015, Equality Act 2010 and SEN Regulations 2014) in response to the Ofsted and CQC joint review and the Accelerated Programme Plan (AAP), and aims to improve oversight of quality, inclusive practice, outcomes and value for money for Kent and Medway CYP. The framework also supports Virtual School Heads in using Pupil Premium Plus and Early Years Pupil Premium to improve Personal Education Plan (PEP) targets and engagement for Children in Care.
