Alternative provision

Find alternative provisions, using the Alternative Providers Directory List, advice and statutory guidance.

Reporting a concern about an AP

As part of our ongoing Quality Assurance (QA) of all providers listed on the Directory, we have produced an online form for schools to complete to raise any concerns regarding a listed provider.

This form should be completed irrespective of whether ECC has commissioned the provision or the school has commissioned it directly. 

Reporting a concern about an alternative provider

Where ECC is the commissioner, we will be able to offer case-specific support to address the concerns if you have not been able to resolve with the provider directly.

If you have commissioned support directly, we will not be able to take any case-specific action but will use the information you have provided to inform our wider QA of the IPES framework.
