Number of children and young people with a statement or Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan placed in: alternative provision/pupil referral units - LA maintained (13307) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of children and young people (aged 0-25) with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan placed in a alternative provision/pupil referral units: LA maintained. Figures taken on January school census date.
EHC plans were introduced from September 2014 as part of a range of SEND reforms. A pupil has a statement of SEN or an EHC plan when a local authority issues one following a formal assessment. This document sets out the child's needs and the extra help they should receive.
Hospital schools (including foundation schools) are schools operated in a hospital, generally a children's hospital, which provides instruction to all primary and secondary grade levels. These schools help children and young people sustain academic progress during periods of hospitalisation and rehabilitation. A pupil referral unit (PRU) is set up under the Education Act 1993 to make provision for pupils who are out of school for reasons such as exclusion or illness. This category is split into local authority maintained PRUs (j), AP academies (m) and AP free schools (p) to account for newly opened schools which were formerly PRUs. Pupils who are dually registered in both a PRU and a school should are recorded under the type of school they attend.
The method for collecting data on establishments has changed from previous years. Previously, local authorities provided data on the number of EHC plans where the child or young person was attending through a set list of establishment types. From 2023, information on the specific establishment has been recorded, with either the Unique Reference Number (URN), UK Provider Reference Number or where neither are applicable, a specific category recorded. As a result of this change, caution should be taken when comparing across years by establishment types.
From 2023, the data collection changed from aggregated figures at local authority level, to a person level collection. This has been a major change in approach and as such care should be taken with comparisons across this period.
