10. PT DYW role including Pastoral Care
A key element of our approach to alternative provision has been to combine the curricular and pastoral responsibilities within the role of PT: DYW
This has led to a greater understanding of the individual needs of each pupil through regular dialogue with parents/carers, social work and through attendance at relevant meetings – SCRA / Multi-Agency
Partnership working has been key to our success
