Looked-After Children & Vulnerable Learners
Details have been anonymised to protect the learner’s privacy.
The Challenge
Quality in Tutoring was commissioned to provide educational support for a looked-after young person requiring additional tuition outside their usual educational provision.
The learner required structured academic support alongside a consistent approach to engagement and communication between the professionals involved in their education.
Our Approach
Quality in Tutoring arranged individual tuition with clear scheduling and oversight of the provision.
The learner's programme was structured around their educational needs, with sessions used to provide targeted academic support.
Attendance and engagement were monitored and communication maintained with the relevant adults and education professionals supporting the learner.
Where sessions were missed or concerns arose around engagement, Quality in Tutoring followed up rather than treating non-attendance simply as an administrative absence.
The Impact
The provision gave the learner access to structured, individualised learning alongside their wider education arrangements and provided those responsible for the learner's education with greater visibility of attendance, engagement and tuition activity.
The experience has informed Quality in Tutoring's wider approach to working with looked-after and vulnerable learners, including clear attendance procedures, regular reporting and communication with the professionals surrounding the child.
