Guidance for Schools : Off-Site Direction

For dual registered pupils, appropriate, consistent and timely communication between the home school and the receiving school is essential to ensure that each child receives the support they need promptly, in a trauma-informed way, and are effectively safeguarded. Therefore named points of contact in each school are required. This will ensure that each child receives the support they need in a timely and efficient manner and prevent any information being lost.

For a pupil attending a period of off-site direction, the home school retains safeguarding responsibility for the pupil. Any concerns will be communicated to the named contact without delay.
