​
THE SERVICE
​
IPIE Learning Centre (IPIE) shall ensure that all its staff is competent, properly trained and have the safeguarding clearance to work with children and families.
​
IPIE shall provide flexible educational, social and emotional and mental health support young people (and their families, where needed) to enable the learner to succeed academically.
​
The Service shall be offered to learners who are assessed and deemed to need extra support to make academic progress. Learners will be assessed before intervention commence. The learners will work toward weekly targets to measure progress over a given period. Regular feedback will be given to the adult with responsibility for the learner (parent or school) who contract our service.
​
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
​
IPIE will prepare interventions that are appropriate to the needs of the learners.
​
On some occasions, parents/ teachers (adults who contract our service) may be requested to buy resources that are judged as necessary to enhance the young person learning needs (e.g. books or other learning equipment).
The Customer shall be responsible for preparing the areas for which the service is taking place (unless otherwise agreed). For example, a learning space – table, chair, and quiet space.
IPIE shall give regular feedback to the learner and adults who contract our service and learner will be asked to complete short practice sessions during the week; for maximum progress we recommend they complete the practice as recommended.
Whilst IPIE intends to work with every learner accepted on the intervention, IPIE will terminate the service immediately if the staff is threatened or placed at risk in any way. Staff will support vulnerable learners but will not tolerate anti-social behaviour or hitting, kicking or spitting on staff.
