12-week preventative placement
The 12-week preventative placement process for Coventry secondary schools is designed to ensure that pupils who require personalised interventions and focused support to overcome barriers, improve engagement and build resilience are offered a time limited placement at a new school. It is not an alternative to permanent exclusion. It is hoped the outcome of a 12-week preventative placement results in the pupil successfully successfully returning to their home school.
Referral considerations
- is the referral linked to a one-off incident?
- is the referral being made for persistent disruptive behaviour?
- will the student be able to meet the same expectations in a different school? Rationale?
- will the student genuinely benefit from a fresh start?
- started an Early Help offer to family? Gained consent from parents and recorded on EHM?
- gained parental consent for the referral to the CAP Multi-Agency Panel? (Discussion outcomes will impact on decision making)
