The ambition of the Vulnerable Pupils Panel (VPP) is to ensure that children and young people have equality of access to high quality mainstream education and have the same opportunities to achieve and succeed through all their steps in education and effectively prepare them for adulthood whatever their starting point.
The VPP is a genuine partnership which ensures that children and young people have access to available support that they need, at a time they need it. The core principle of the partnership is one of inclusion, acting in consultation to support the local area to develop policy, practice, and provision. The partnership has oversight of arrangements that support access to education and support, minimising pupil movement through early help.
