Provider Access Statement

Our policy statement sets out the arrangements for managing the access of education and training providers to young people for the purpose of giving them information about their offer. It sets out:  

• Procedures in relation to requests for access 
• The grounds for granting and refusing requests for access 
• Details of premises or facilities to be provided to a person who is given access
• For our young people, who have complex educational needs, responsible staff will work with providers to ensure appropriate, meaningful provider access that does not discriminate or breach the equalities act.  

Procedure 

The process for providers to follow to ensure effective communication with our school is as follows::   

• Review the careers section of the academy’s website 
• Email specific member of staff identified as the careers lead 

Opportunities for access  

A number of events, integrated into our careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come in to speak to our pupils. 

Our school has the freedom within our academic calendar to meet the pupil needs and the specific provider requirements.  

Premises and facilities  

Our school must provide appropriate facilities to enable the effective delivery from providers. This can include the following:

• Classrooms  
• Main hall  
• Hire an external venue  

Providers on agreement to present must state the type of venue that is required, any specialist equipment and support they may require.    

Park Aspire will require to see and/or discuss any presentation and written materials a minimum of 7 days before the presentation.
