- Named under an EOTAS arrangement in their EHCP (Section I).

Full Section F responsibility remains with the LA or school unless formally arranged through EOTAS.

Arranging a Visit

If parents, carers, schools, or Local Authorities would like to arrange a visit, they can contact us at:

info@impactalternativelearning.co.uk 

​

Following initial contact:

  • A senior member of staff will make contact to discuss the referral

  • A visit will be arranged at the most appropriate site (Mossley or Ashton) based on the learner’s age and needs

  • Where appropriate, we can offer a home visit to support engagement and reduce anxiety

During this stage, we will:

  • Explore the young person’s needs, strengths, and current challenges

  • Explain our curriculum, structure, and therapeutic approach

  • Discuss any EHCP requirements or professional involvement

  • Liaise with the Local Authority, school, or referring agency
