There are many things a school may need to consider if a student is not ‘fit to board’. This may include the young person’s own safety and wellbeing, alongside others in a boarding house. Increasingly, schools have found it useful to write a ‘fit to board’ policy and this course is designed to help them consider if this would be helpful in their context, and how to create a policy.
Training topics will include:
- The reasons why people may not be ‘fit to board’.
- Balancing needs in a boarding house.
- Providing continuity of education and other legal considerations.
- Working with parents.
- Considerations when writing policy.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand some reasons why a young person might not be fit to board.
- Know the legal framework around education provision.
- Be guided in producing a school policy on fitness to board.
