BACKGROUND TO THE POST

WCG has four core values, the first of which is to put the student first. Young people have the right to request that an institution is named in their Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP), and local authorities have a duty to name that institution in the EHC plan unless, following consultation with the institution, the local authority determines that it is unsuitable for the young person’s age, ability, aptitude or Special Educational Needs and Disability or that to place the young person there would be incompatible with the efficient use of resources or the efficient education of others. WCG is recognised as offering an inclusive and successful provision at all levels for Young People whose learning is affected by SEND.
