A. On receipt of the formal consultation, the central referrals team will send to the school/schools within the group who may be suitable. The school assessment team will review the EHCP and reports, and the central referrals team with provide feedback from the school/schools, as to whether they feel they may be able to meet the needs of the child or young person and if they have capacity. You will be asked to give your consent for us to carry out a suitability needs assessment.
Following the suitability assessment, the central referrals team will provide feedback. An offer of placement letter with be issued if the school suitability/capacity assessment is successful.
