Leicestershire County Council has delegated funding for "at risk of exclusion" pupils to local groups of schools, colleges and academies. All pupils in Leicesterhsire in this category remain on a school roll. Pupils who have been formally exlcuded by a school are placed on a roll of another local school through the Fair Access Process. Schools therefore need to be reassured that the Partnerships are performing well.

​

There are two ways in which accountability is secured:

1.  Through the local groupings of Headteachers  (Local Governance Boards) who have arrangements for overseeing their own Partnership.  These pass their minutes and evaluations to....

2. The County SEIPS Governance Board which meets three times a year.  This in turn reports to the Leicestershire SEND and Inclusion Board. The responsibility for agendas, chairng, mintuing and acting on decisions made at the County Board rests with the Local Authority.
