Notice Title
CS6098 - Children in Care PEP and Attendance Monitoring
Notice Description
Submissions are invited from government approved providers for a comprehensive digital solution that: * Provides real-time attendance monitoring and same-day absence verification for children in the council's care. * A web solution that enables the co-creation and management of Personal Education Plans (PEPs) within a secure, collaborative portal for staff, carers and social workers. * Delivers analytics, strategic dashboards, and longitudinal outcome tracking (attendance, engagement, attainment, progress) aligned to Ofsted expectations and Virtual School statutory duties. * Meets DfE approval/authorisation requirements and all relevant UK government standards for access, security and data protection. The solution must demonstrably support the Virtual School's statutory responsibilities for looked-after children (LAC) and extend to related cohorts (e.g., children with a social worker, kinship) as the remit evolves. Current provision offers attendance tracking and PEP creation with dashboards, but pupil outcome tracking is a critical gap and is largely manual; bidders must address this gap explicitly.
