Resourced Provisions
Resourced Provisions are parts of schools that help children with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). Children and young people who are in an Resourced Provisions are still part of the main school and get help from both Resourced Provisions staff and other school staff working together.
Resourced Provisions have well-trained staff to help in all classes so they can join in all school activities. Some children and young people need extra help to learn, so Resourced Provisions give them a safe place where they can get lessons, small group teaching, and other support to help meet their needs.
The main goal is to help young people take part with school life and learn everything their peers do. Some children and young people may feel too nervous to be in some classes at first, so Resourced Provisions give them the right support to help them join more classes over time.
Resourced Provisions have allocated areas in the school where children and young people can go during break times to feel safe and talk with staff. Some RPs also have sensory rooms to help children and young people understand their feelings and regulate their emotions.
It's important to know that Resourced Provisions are not separate schools; they are part of the main school with the main aim to help children and young people get a mainstream education with the right support.
These lists provide a comprehensive overview of the range of resources and support available in Wirral schools for children and young people with SEND.
