Our Management Committee
Service Quality Assurance, Monitoring & Evaluation
Governance / Management Committee
The service is subject to statutory governance arrangements in accordance with Alternative Provision Statutory guidance for local authorities January 2013.
The guidance makes it mandatory for local authorities to establish Management Committees if they maintain a Pupil Referral Unit. The Management Committee constitution is set out in an Instrument of Government comprised of four stakeholder groups: parents; staff; the local authority; and the community. There is an option to include one or two sponsor members who can form a fifth group but this must be matched by additional community members to ensure it has the highest representation.
The newly constituted EAP Instrument of Government (November 2021) is a nine member model:
|

No. of permitted members |
