Between October 2015 and early February 2016 Officers from Lewisham Children and Young People's Directorate reviewed Alternative Provision in Lewisham. The Review included engaging with a range of stakeholders, examining their provision, exploring issues, sharing good practice, evaluating and interpreting a wide range of performance indicators and analysing data from the main agencies and services that support children and young people in Alternative Provision settings. The key recommendations from the Review are being implemented over a three year timeframe: 1. Implement a programme to reduce the number of fixed term and permanent exclusions from Lewisham secondary schools. 2. Implement a programme to increase the number of children and young people who are re- integrated back in to Lewisham Schools from Alternative Provision, including Pupil Referral Units (PRUs. 3. Implement a programme to improve levels of attendance of children and young people attending Lewisham AP. 4. Have a clear process to enable schools to access sixth day provision for pupils who have been excluded. 5 Review the AP Quality Assurance Framework to ensure that there is provision for all Key Stages. 6. Ensure that all provision accessed for Lewisham children and young people is Department for Education Registered.* 7. Raise the awareness and importance of schools' responsibility to ensure the quality and suitability of children and young people AP placements at all Key Stages and encourage schools to regularly visit to check that the AP continues to be fit for purpose. 8. Develop and implement provision that fills the gaps identified in the Review.
