Swansea Council is establishing a framework for providers capable of delivering educational, vocational, therapeutic, engagement and wellbeing services for children and young people who require support beyond that ordinarily available within a maintained school. It replaces the existing EOTAS Framework and broadens access to approved provision across Swansea schools, Swansea PRU, local authority inclusion services and other authorised Council services.
The Framework is intended to help schools and services respond flexibly to learner need whilst maintaining a strong focus on reintegration, progression and successful participation in education. It reflects a clear shift away from viewing alternative provision as a last resort and towards a model in which specialist interventions form part of a planned continuum of support designed to improve attendance, engagement, wellbeing, attainment, progression and inclusion.
The framework will comprise of the following lots:
Lot 1: Curriculum Enhancement
Lot 2: Vocational and Work-Related Learning
Lot 3: Engagement and Re-engagement Services
Lot 4: Emotional Wellbeing and Therapeutic Support
Lot 5: Outdoor and Experiential Learning
Lot 6: Employability and Transition Programmes
Lot 7: Innovation and Specialist Provision
