ISP Advisory Teachers
Every ISP centre has an advisory teacher. They ensure that our young people have a school place, attend regularly, and are supported in making progress. They are also there to support you.
Our advisory teachers will help the child’s social worker to identify the most suitable school placement from those with availability. Many factors will be considered including your local knowledge, the most recent Ofsted inspection and the advisory teacher’s knowledge of the school’s attitude to children in care and pastoral support arrangements. School admission procedures give priority to looked after children, and this means that the local authority can direct a school to admit a child, even if the school is full.
Once a young person is at school, they will attend meetings whenever they can. This includes PEP meetings, SEN annual reviews and network meetings.
The advisory teacher will also make sure that young people get additional help that they need. This can include one-to-one tuition, special equipment, or an assessment of special educational need. They will also make sure that everyone working with the child is aware of their additional needs.
