What is a Resourced Provision?
In Bradford we operate Resourced Provisions (RPs) that are either managed by a school (School Led Resourced Provision - SLRP) or by the Local Authority (Local Authority Led Resourced Provision– LARP). The provisions are within a mainstream school, designed
to provide specialist and targeted support for children and young people with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). Children accessing a RP will be on the roll of the mainstream school and will be fully supported by the specialist staff and the staff of
the mainstream school working in partnership.
They provide highly trained staff to support young people in their mainstream lessons and enable them to engage in every aspect of school life.
Some children and young people need more support to access a mainstream curriculum, therefore the Resourced Provisions provide a safe environment for them where they can access specialist interventions, precision teaching, social interaction support, small
group teaching, and a bespoke curriculum (to match their individual needs). This support is to enable them to take part in their mainstream learning environment, access a full broad and ambitious curriculum and to access the whole school mainstream experience
and an inclusive offer.
Some children and young people may feel too anxious to access a full mainstream curriculum; support needs are matched to the individual with the ambition that the young person will be able to access some, if not all, of their mainstream classes over time.
The RPs have dedicated space within the school which is for the use of the young people accessing the provision. Therefore, at social times this is a place where children and young people will feel safe to communicate or express themselves in confidence,
supervised by trained staff. Some RPs have additional sensory rooms to support regulation and learn about their emotions and feelings.
It is important to understand that they are not separate to the school; they are not special schools or units. Their purpose it to offer specialist support to access a mainstream education. The resource provisions do not offer full time1:1 support , we
are based on a 1:2 staff to student ratio as students accessing the resource provisions should be accessing mainstream education.
How are children allocated a place in a Resourced Provision?
Parents must request a Resourced Provision when naming a placement in their child’s EHCP. Children with an EHCP are allocated a place in a Resourced Provision by a Local Authority central panel and in consultation with the host school. Children within the
host school cannot be allocated a place without going through this process first.

Enhanced Nursery Placements
To access an enhanced nursery placement, your child must have severe or profound and multiple learning difficulties. Referrals can be made by the Portage team, Specialist Teachers or Access & Inclusion Officers, they then submit the EYESP referral form
to the local authority SEND Team via the SEN Portal where the decision for placement is made by the SEN panel. EYESP settings can also request places, they can submit EYESP referral to the SCIL team for joint moderation.
