Referral Process: Get Involved

The Enrolment Process

Pathway 1

Referral Form

Parents/Carers/School Staff complete the referral form attached and send it to

admissions@greencorridor.org.uk

The young person will be invited to visit the site. During the visit, the suitability of a placement with Green Corridor will be discussed. At this point, if the Parents/Carers would like to go ahead with a referral, then they let their Local Authority SEN Caseworker know that they are interested in a placement at Green Corridor.

Once the caseworker sends Green Corridor the consultation, the Admissions Panel will decide on the suitability of a placement for that young person with us. Following both the visit and the Admissions Panel, Green Corridor responds to the consultation with either a rejection of consultation or an offer of a placement. Local Authority decide whether to accept our offer of a placement or not.

If the placement is agreed by both Green Corridor and the Local Authority, we then arrange transition for that young person. Once a placement has been agreed, the young person will be invited out to complete an initial assessment which identifies the current academic level they are working towards.

Pathway Two

Consultation

Local Authority SEN caseworker sends us a consultation for a placement. Green Corridor will then invite the young person and their parents/carers out for a visit to site. During the visit the suitability of a placement at Green Corridor will be discussed.

The consultation is then taken to the Admissions Panel, here a decision is made regarding the suitability of a placement for that young person with us. Following both the visit and the Admissions Panel, Green Corridor then responds to the consultation with either a rejection of consultation or an offer of a placement. Local Authority decide whether to accept our offer of a placement or not.
