Application response
To ensure the application process is efficient, reliable and can evidence information being sought by Schools/academies or sent to Schools/academies (commissioners) by training providers to support placement decisions at any time, Coventry Alternative Provision have introduced an application response.
Applications will no longer be processed by Coventry Alternative Provision (CAP) without receipt of an application response. This process requires training providers to acknowledge receipt of the application documentation, consider whether they can meet the students’ identified needs and risk level and confirm if a student can start provision.
Only upon receipt of this will CAP Admin process any new referrals.
School/academies will also receive the application response with full details enabling them to prepare with the student prior to a provision commencing.
If a training provider feel that they are unable to meet the identified needs of the student, they can decline a provision, but they must document the reason for the decision on the application response. If this occurs, CAP will contact the referring school to discuss alternative training providers that may be more suitable.
If a school/academy has not received an application response, the provision must not commence and if it does, CAP will take no responsibility for the provision that is accessed, this could result in fees being incorrect.
