Learning Access Service - Supporting children into education
As a child friendly city, Leeds is keen to ensure that all children, whatever their circumstances, have the very best opportunity to access the very best education. The Leeds Learning Access Service has that vision at the very core of its work, not least for those children whose parents elect to educate them at home.
This session will provide an overview on the Learning Access Service, with a focus on understanding the local authority's responsibilities and structure of the team.
The session will include:
- links to statutory guidance and updates
- identification of current challenges
- the sharing of processes and opportunities for multi partnership working
This training is being offered in response to legislative developments, to ensure practitioners are alert to changes which impact their practice.
The session is suitable for all practitioners working with children, young people and their families.
