Leicestershire Secondary Schools, Academies and Colleges share a commitment to avoiding the use of Permanent Exclusion. Therefore all students whose needs are met in part or in full by the Partnerships remain on a school roll.  The school retains its responsibility and accountability for those students who remain on the roll. 

​

Schools therefore need to be reassured that the Partnerships are performing well.

​

There are two ways in which accountability is secured:

1.  Through the local groupings of Headteachers  (Local Governance Boards) who have arrangements for overseeing their own Partnership.  These pass their minutes and evaluations to....

2. The County SEIPS Governance Board which meets three times a year.  This in turn reports to the Leicestershire SEND and Inclusion Board.
