The Virtual School: Support for children in care and adopted children
The virtual school team
Each school should have a designated teacher who is responsible for educational and pastoral issues.
The Head of Looked After Children's Education with the PLACE (Project for Looked After Children's Education) makes sure all arrangements are in place to improve the educational outcomes of children in care. The progress is monitored as if they were in one school.
Because supporting LAC effectively sometimes means working across organisational and geographical boundaries, we have signed up to the North East Education Protects Network information sharing protocol for LAC. We work to this protocol in working with colleagues elsewhere.
