EOTAS information for Council
Dear Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council,
Please could you provide the following information:
• The number of Children and Young Persons (CYP) aged 5-16 resident in Darwen Borough Council who are receiving EOTAS (Education Other than At School)?
• The number of post-16 students who are receiving EOTAS.
• The Council members of staff who run the EOTAS provision and their phone numbers and email addresses?
• Is the council in a contract with an external provider for tuition services? If so, who is the provider/providers? If not, how is education provided for these students?
• What has been the total spend with External Agencies as part of the EOTAS provision? Can this be broken down to the spend with each individual agency.
Many thanks for your time and effort.
Yours faithfully,
B Raven-Hill
