The Reporting and Collection of Data Regarding the Attendance and Exclusion of Children in Care in Sefton, as well as Pupils with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) educated out of Borough

The Contracted Provision will be broken down into 2 Lots, covering 2 separate service areas, which will be managed entirely independently of each other: LOT 1 - Sefton Virtual School wishes to commission a service to monitor the attendance and exclusion for children in the care of the local authority who are placed in schools or settings outside of the local authority. This will include children from reception to Year 11. LOT 2 - Sefton SEND wishes to track the attendance of children who have an Education Health and Care Plan (ECHP) who attend independent provision out of Borough.
