Description

Working with the DfE Preparing for Adulthood team & school and college leaders, ECC have developed The Inclusion Framework (TIF): Lives without Labels, an all-encompassing approach to inclusion & preparing for adulthood for all Children & Young People. The aim of TIF is to support young people, professionals & families to identify & remove barriers to education, preparation for adult life & pathways into employment and enterprise.

The Authority are seeking a digital solution to support the management of TIF approach. This is built on an 'assess, plan, do, review' process, which enables young people, professionals (particularly school & local authority staff) & families to:

Assess individuals, groups &/or cohorts of children/young people against TIF outcomes matrix to identify barriers, areas of strength & opportunity.

Identify relevant guidance & resources, based on assessment results.

Collaboratively (e.g. with parents/carers, ECC, between professionals) develop creative, timely approaches & action plans to address the needs identified through TIF.

Track & monitor progress.

Identify trends across groups &/or cohorts.

Incorporate information from the above process into referrals to statutory services if they are necessary & appropriate


ECC's ambition is for change, we are looking at digital partnerships with future suppliers, & are open to exploring the market to identify technology providers who may or /may not currently be active in the education software market but who do have both the capability & desire to work alongside a local authority as a system development partner.

We are seeking discussion with those organisations with sufficient development & technology infrastructure to build & deliver a high quality, secure, and user-friendly system, that harnesses the best that technology offers to digitally enable innovative approaches to learning & inclusion for Children & Young People to be developed.
