Education Resource Group (ERG)
The decision to provide a placement for a child or young person in a primary or secondary specialist provision is taken by the Education Resource Group (ERG), and for Early Learning & Childcare specialist provision by the Early Years Education Resource Group (EY ERG).
The EY ERG and the ERG determine the following:
- access to early years outreach support;
- requests for an additional funded year of Early Learning and Childcare when a child does not meet the criteria for an automatic deferral;
- request for consideration for specialist ASN provision as identified through the Child Planning Framework;
- placing requests for a specialist ASN provisions and
- school retentions, namely requests for children and young people to ‘repeat’ a stage in school education
