DCFP Education Advisory Group Meeting | 14 May 2018
Read DAPH representative David Barnett's feedback to schools from the recent DCFP Education Advisory Group meeting :-
School Nursing Core Offer
In
response to changes in the national funding for local health there are major
changes to the school nursing core offer for 2018-19. This is the last year of
the contract with Virgin Care ahead of DCC resuming responsibility for School
Nursing and Health Visitors from 2019.
There is only
funding for 35 schools nurses across Devon and the work will be more targeting
at;
-
supporting
schools to meet the needs of individual children who have an identified medical
need or where the school feels there be an identified need.
- providing
support for SRE teaching and guidance and support of identified children at
KS2-5.
These proposals will be
shared with school leaders via a survey in the very near future.
Elective Home Education DfE Consultation
The
national consultation on Elective Home Education (EHE) is currently open.
Legislation hasn’t changed since 1984 and recently there has been a significant
increase in EHE in Devon (521 children 2012/13 to 1275 2016/17) which is
continuing to rise. The DfE recognises there are many reasons for this and are
proposing significant changes including requirements for all EHE children to be
registered with a LA; introducing statutory monitoring duties for the LA; and specifying
safeguarding CPD & qualifications required by all private tutors.
Schools welcome
to submit own response by 02/07/18. Access the consultation via this L I N K
DCC are submitting a
corporate response, schools wishing to contribute should do so by 14 June 2018
