How to get a place

3 steps
  1. Talk to your child’s school or the council

    Places in alternative provision are usually arranged by your child’s current school or Birmingham council, rather than applied for directly.

  2. If your child has an EHC plan

    The placement should be agreed through the plan, with you involved in the decision.

  3. Get free, independent advice

    Your local SENDIASS can explain your options and come to meetings with you.
