Education Select Committee Enquiry into Alternative Provision

The House of Commons Education Select Committee announced that one of the first inquiries of the new parliament will be on Alternative Provision (AP) for pupils who do not attend mainstream schools for reasons such as school exclusion, behaviour issues, or illness.

The inquiry will look at:

• Routes into alternative provision
• The quality of teaching in alternative provision
• Educational outcomes and destinations of pupils
• Safety, accommodation and provision of resources for pupils
• In-school alternatives to alternative provision
• Regulation of independent providers.

We will share the findings when available.
