Fair Access Protocol (FAP)

All Local Authorities are required to operate a Fair Access Protocol (FAP). The Protocol ensures that school places for maintained schools and Academies are allocated and offered in an open and fair way. Outside the normal admissions round, unplaced children (especially the most vulnerable), must be offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible.
