| ODPM desc: | Online facilities to be available to allow access to information about educational support services that seek to raise the educational attainment of Looked After Children i.e:young people who cannot live with their families and are in the care of Social Services (referred to by the DfES as Children in Public Care). |
| | | |
| IDeA guidance: | This outcome requires authorities to use technology to help raise educational attainment for a particular group – Looked After Children. In this case, online information should be publically available to demonstrate how authority support is directed on an individual basis to each foster/residentially placed child, the services that each child can expect (e.g. Personal Education Plan) and what local performance standards have been set for achievement in this area.
To fulfil the requirements of this outcome, councils should make information available as pages on their website, as well as via internal systems to staff handling telephone or personal callers. Content should either be researched and posted by the authority or syndicated from third party agencies such as health services, social care, education and others. Good practice in this area dictates that online information should be presented in a form that is understandable to a child. Online facilities must also include a team or generic email contact address, together with a list of services that can be requested via this facility. This outcome ties in with Best Value Performance Indicator 50 relating to the educational qualifications of children looked after (joint working). |
