The Virtual School is working to:
- Provide advice, guidance to parents, carers, schools and other professionals
- Signpost to other services, resources and support available for the families of PLAC
- Provide training early years settings to develop understanding of the distinct needs of previously looked after children and advocate attachment aware and trauma informed practice
- Promote relational practice that ensures positive educational experiences and achievement for PLAC
- Enhance partnerships between parents/ carers, education settings, social workers, family practitioners and other professionals as appropriate
The Virtual School does not work with individual children who have PLAC status - including tracking and monitoring educational progress of individual children and providing academic or other interventions.
