How to put together an Eotas package

[Worried74]

If anyone has any pointers I would be grateful. We would be looking for face to face tuition and a mentor, possibly some talking therapies. How do you source provision?

You say 'possibly some talking therapies'. EOTAS packages are based on the provision detailed, specified and quantified in F. Is the therapy in F? If it is, it must be provided. If it isn’t, you are unlikely to get an EOTAS package that includes it.

It depends. You can request the LA arrange the provision detailed, specified and quantified in F if that is what you want. Or some people find professionals via word of mouth. Or you may want to look at a tuition agency, AP or provider (e.g. Kite, Fleet tutors, SENse Learning, or The Wildheart Foundation. There are many other services. There will also be local ones too, depending on where you live - sometimes some of these are on the local offers page or if the LA have an AP catalogue). Some providers can also arrange mentoring.

@BlueBrick thank you. Our section f is pointless as it does not reflect our child's needs on any level. Working document is a joke but this is what LA have asked for and seem to accept B and F do not reflect need and provision.

EOTAS packages are based on the provision in F. The LA doesn't have to fund any provision as part of an EOTAS package if it isn't detailed, specified and quantified in F. Therefore, F needs to be watertight, so continue with your appeal.
