Section outline

  • The Virtual School can provide: 

    • training and development for education providers and partners 

    • advice and guidance on supporting previously looked-after learners, including information on attachment-aware and trauma-informed practice 

    • signposting to appropriate services, agencies and resources 

    • access to evidence-informed tools, guidance and support materials 

    • consultation on approaches that promote engagement, participation and achievement 

    The Virtual School does not work with individual young people who have PLAC status - including tracking and monitoring educational progress of individual children and providing academic or other interventions.  Responsibility for educational support remains with the post-16 provider, working collaboratively with learners, families and relevant professionals as needed.
